What engine is in the Corsa? Will have a timing chain I'd imagine, doesn't look like a 1.8.

It's a 1.2 so it has a chain, no need to worry about the belt.

One quick question, why in God's name have you gone from a Beamer to a Vauxhall? Thought you were supposed to upgrade not downgrade?

Or maybe he couldn't afford the Beemer. There are numerous reasons that someone might sell a car. Give the guy a break ffs. Typical fucking corsasport!

If your needing a timing chain done mate give me a shout. I'll supply and fit for a reasonable price
