my best mate got a corsa c 1.2 16v, fitted a new timing chain (sounded like a tractor like all godamn ecotec engines with more than 30k) cooling system wouldnt bleed after it for love nor money, finally resorted to feeding it coolant directly in the water pump which was fun, then the headgasket went for no reason whatsoever, didnt overheat at all, the engine itself when running well was strangled of power up the revs, the clutch pedal has the feedback of a dead horse and gearbox oil dissapears leaving no trace whatsoever.

*breath*

the steering rack has a horrendous amount of play, all kinds of weird suspension knocks, and it eats through driveshafts like fun.

corsa's are shit. imo.....
