Well i bought my first Corsa last week, i own a Calibra 2.5 V6 and want to keep it of the road over the winter for lots of work and general tinkering. The Corsa came up and i bought it. Its a 1996 5 door Vegas model, 1.4 8v with 101k on the clock. I believe it is the C14NZ engine. Its quite a nice wee car, very basic in many respects but as we all know that just means fewer things to go wrong. I'm just wondering if anyone else has the same engine and what sort of fuel economy/MPG your getting. Thanks for looking

Thanks everyone and thanks Jebdy for that very useful link. I'm a member on loads of Vauxhall sites and can honestly say this is the friendliest to newbies i've found

Seen a Corsa V6 project take shape on NI-VAUX and there sure is a hell of alot of work involved in it.

Still having a good look around here, really really good site guys

No need to say shit like that really is there?

Opinions are welcome, it creates discussions. This is a web forum after all. Not everyone will have the same opinion thankfully. Regarding the spelling it's always prefered that you type in such a way that everyone else can understand, it's also in our rules.

He's a new user, you don't need to scare him off by putting things across in a stupid way. Let him form his own opinion of the site and its users.

Don't worry, i'm thick skinned and know how these forums work. This seems a good one though
