go spend 14 quid on a haynes manual, and about 5 quid on the relevent spanners. probably than you would get charged to do it. plus then you have a haynes manual too.

:lol: dont know why i posted that thought it might have had a guide on how to retension ive only had to do this on my old car. which wasnt a corsa.

Ask someone on here where it is or ittle be near your alternator. the belt that is connected to that. then look for something that looks like a tensioner. and adjust it

(spelling on tentioner/tensioner - fuck knows) :lol:

when i said "pull it out" i meant move tensioner so that it does what its supposed to do. then tighten nut back up to hold tensioer in correct place.
