The Corsa is a nice motor Mike but I don't know how you've been able to go back to a Corsa after having an M3!

I think i might just chuck it on the rollers, and Nic i fully intend to put a LET in it ASAP, not being to safely overtake is depressing and scary

I think it has the engine code stamped on the block somewhere iirc, like C16XE, X14XE etc..

look to the left of where the gearbox mates up to the block and theres a flat patch on the block can see the engine code on there.

Give it a service and get it on the rollers mike.
My x16xe with 4-2-1, de-cat and full system is abit quicker than my gf's zs so with an inlet you should be pulling away tbh.

No, it doesnt need a service, it runs sweet, no knocks taps ticks nothing, infact its the quietest and smoothest 16XE ive heard.
