You've been upstaged 
Nice run around though, bargain aswell!
My mate has the 1.9 150 in his zafira and has nothing but problems with egrs and all sorts. I take it this is exactly the same engine?

It's a vauxhall  
Only joking, I like these shape astras, especially with the xp kit on.

Will you then drive everywhere on the redline and stuck on peoples rear bumpers in a bid to prove how ''quick'' you are, like most of those astras seem to do?

It'll probably also do 40MPG and not 50.

150's are shit. They just fall to pieces.
These 120's are fine but they suffer really really really bad for water leaks. Seriously
There's a pipe under the thermostat housing that is stupidly common, and there a pita to change too

Sorry mate your right, I only run 9 taxi's with these engines in. I wouldn't know about common faults.
150's have problems with the swirl flaps, bcm's and have you ever tried to do a clutch on one? Nightmare

Why are you running taxi's with the 150's and not the 120's like everyone else running taxi's does?
I know they have problems however your 9 abused high mileage examples are not indicative of the wider market of 150's.

Why would i do that? Im selling the corsa to be sensible. Hence me buying a deisel family car. Not to prove to someone like you how fast it is. But saying that i think you might be upset when a deisel astra smoked you in your Z4.

No we use 120's as the 150s are rubbish. We had a 150 that we got rid of.
There also not exactly abused or that high mileage to be honest
They get looked after more than most people's cars

So a petrol Z4 with i dunno 240bhp? Wouldnt get smoked by a deisel with nearly the same power and loads more torque? I dont actually care what corsasport has to say anymore.

yes i'm sure that happened.
No, i've just had enough of losers trying to prove their family hatchback is quick, whilst almost rear ending me in the process.
Not saying you're a loser for getting one btw. I even said I like them, just son't understand the obsession with needing to go everywhere on the rev limiter.

looking through the history it had a water leak examined a few years ago, hopefully they did something about it and i wont have to

You're handy anyway, shouldn't be a problem for you.
We should have a race, Alfa vs. Astra, 120bhp on paper for the both of them, I've got 300 less cc's than you though
