My corsa is a 1 litre 12valve, its done 50,000 does it need the timing belt changed yet? Also is it a belt on the 12 valve or is it a chain? & if anyone knows the price of the parts? cheers

Nope, timing chains are non servicable items, they self adjust hydraulically and do not need to be replaced as often as a timing belt. *I think*. Somone might prove me wrong though...

I thought recommendations on timing chain was 100k? but i might be wrong.
Generally speak unless they go rattly they are fine, but they are much more expensive to replace than timing belts.
