Insurance doesnt even have to know, its the same as your gearbox going bang and you only being able to source a 5 speed box, it really doesnt matter. | |

Martin mate, i would reccomend you grab yourself a 5sp box. Used to have the 1.2 8v with 5 speed, and it was always a little better in 5th gear. Gearbox is F10 and can be found in both Nova's and Corsa's, although the 4 speed was the only F10 in Nova, and Corsa Merit. All other 1.2 8v's got the 5 speed. | |

to be honest 1.2 88v cars arnt realy made for M-ways, well maybe in the slow lane. i know when im coming home from places in the Lexus in the middle lane all we get is novas and corsas screaming past in the outside lane and thats when we pushing 95 sometimes | |

not sure cus my 1.2 8v has a 5 speed but 4 speed gearboxes are meant to be set differently to stop this i thought? maybe ure car just cant go that fast? | |

my car screams like feck when its in 4th gear at 80-90mph, would it stop this if i added a 5 speed gearbox? also, would it damage the engine in anyway? thanks |
