ive got a 1994 l reg corsa and my camshaft has worn, ive been quoted £350-£400 for a kit and to be fitted, i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or if its worth having it done.
and does anyone know if i keep driving the car will it do alot more damage?
please help

i had this problem with my M reg 1.4 SOHC. top end became very noisy but i didnt take notice untill it started loosing alot of power throughout the rev range and missfiring.
i basically bought a camshaft & followers for £70 odd and decided to fit myself.
its not the easiest of things to do when you have no knowlegde of working on engines.
