have you got sorted with this? i looked on allcorsa and realized cambelt hasn't gone. too many little idiots on there telling you what to do and all they can do is replace a bulb.
Give some symptoms as to things you have tried and i will try to help a lot of people on here have xe's and no what there talking about.

Did you build the engine and fit the cams yourself? Also look at the video you posted I'd say it has a few bent valves by how fast it turning over not a mega expensive fix if you know what your doing
Also All corsa is full of noobs don't listen to any off them it's your car at the end of the day and most of there members struggle to fit head units.

The cams and verniers were fitted by phillip2 I think so he was unsure of the timing marks and where the verniers were set however he's now spoken to him and found out they are lined up in the original places as he thought the cams were done by the top of the backing plate to the cambelt from what I can gather.
Quite hard going through it all on a phone
