rite... blue smoke is burning oil, never good, could be rings or stem seals, i'm assuming its the 16v lump in there... change the oil and filter see if its any quieter. Mine sounds awfull at the mo coz the water pump is about to explode. But ive got a fresh engine on standby

its probably the piston rings burning the oil, i had this on my car until they got replaced was awful, in 1st gear at about 5000rpm was pouring out smoke

It a 16v, 8v's were only made for about a year 93' to 94', I havnt got PAS but who needs it on a Corsa? suposed to have more feedback with out anyway! My SRi 8v has leccy windows, mirrors and a sunroof, all were optional the the time, it also has or will be gettin heated seat in standard trim and a electric sunroof when I get the chance to fit the stuff!
