Haynes manual, a mate, some tools and a spare weekend. You might even be able to get it in in a day... | |

I think id like to get it running again, but only if it will be reilable after..id imagine it would be with it being the same engine. | |

Replacing the engine is by far the cheapest option if you want to repair the car. Vauxhall 16v engines don't like loosing thier timing belts... | |

You might need a new engine depending on the revs you were doing when it snapped. | |

Well you'll have to scrap it if the engine is fooked as you'll have a hard time trying to sell a car with a fooked engine! Its should only need a new head at worst surely? What engine is in it? Most corsa engines are fairly cheap these days as they are getting on a bit and cost of fitting a new engine would be in the region of £300-£500 i'd of thaught. | |
