UP-DATE.

After doing a wet & dry compression test & now a sniff test the symptoms are looking towards piston rings or a burnt out valve.

Fucking awesome luck i have. Lost all faith on this car now & its killing me. I'm very tempted to strip it & try to make some money back.

Fucking gutted would be an under statment. This car is my baby, all my money, time & effort goes into it & i never get the break i want. It fucking sucks big time . I really don't know what to do .

I love this corsa!, think it's one of the best on the site tbh, just the fact that you do have mega bad luck with the engine, but i think you should keep at it!

Gutted fella, shame you wernt closer i would happily have give you a hand!

It would take a fair few hours but get the head off and check it out, may be an easy fix with a new valve, but still if need be wip the engine out and put rings in it, they are about £70 ish for standards, horne the bores and whack it back in. could have most of it done in a weekend.

Good luck, I want to see it at PV!

I wish people around my way are experianced with these engines . I can honstly say 110% the car will not be at p.v.s.

You could always take a treck up to oxford .
