It was a cat c about 4 years ago, that doesn't bother me tho. Interior looks like they were keeping chickens in there!, this doesn't bother me coz cally leather is goin in. Engine feels flat to me but is probably fine (this is the first corsa I've driven) again, not bothered as a valver will be in there by the weekend!

Don't have a clue about milage on the new motor, I bought it off a lad who bought it for a project car that never happened. He told me he fitted a new timing belt, water pump thermostat and head gasket so I'm gonna just give it a wash and stick it in
