Got my old 16xe corsa back

Was offered it for 650 quid so couldn't really refuse, its had a new clutch, coil pack, 4 tyres and has only done 1000 miles since i sold it so i'm happy.

It has got a strange rattle noise coming from around the cam belt area somewhere tho, can only hear it between roughly 2k-3.5k rpm.

Could this be the tensioner on its way out?

I bet the water pump is the problem from what you have described.

Lucky to get it back

210 is a joke when it's only a 30min job to the belt on these.

How is it a joke? Ive just done a belt on a 1.8 Astra, belt kit and water pump alone were £101

I did it myself, but i wouldnt say £130 would a bad labour charge.

What is it with people not wanting to pay for things, winds me up like fuck
