	Cause ive heard they can become "loose" aparently on the 1.0 3cyl engines on the Corsa C. Cheers again m8, you been a legend!!

	vauxhall or a car factor place you could change the timing chain, but only a need if its noisy tbh

	Check ebay for head gasket. I linked one for someone on here for £25 yesterday, but for an x16xe, I think
swill_omnibus	posted on 26th Feb 08 at 22:02
	As a thought, surely timing chain wouldn't need to be changed? Or does it suffer same consequences as belt?

	Nooo I mean the thing about the timing chain and stuff I was gonna jump in and say it was a 16v but you beat me :P

	Ah thought so, wanted to make sure just incase, thought it may have been sumin else just incase. Have got prices for all service parts so far and waterpump , and did have a price for T.belt but seems to be a chain now so better double check it, but need price on H.gasket kit still! Anyone got any guide lines!?

	Richie B:- I would be saying that to her but i don't know her tho so can't really give her much of a battering, but 50,000 for £600, not to bad personally. Jambo166:- Yea? Suppose it does makes sense as it's in bits, only prob is she's a student! lol So recommended then timing belt and waterpump, anything else worth considering? [Edited on 26-02-2008 by swill_omnibus]

	makes sense 2 do the water pump and timing belt while its all in bits:thumbs:
Richie B	posted on 26th Feb 08 at 20:40
	Personally, I'd look elsewhere. 5 door corsas aren't the most desireable so are cheap enough for a decent one. [Edited on 26-02-2008 by Richie B]

	Hi all, A friend of a friend is considering buying a corsa B 5DR T-reg 1.2 8/16V (unsure how many yet) She has her suspicions that the head gasket is on the way out. If it is, i know the head-gasket, bolts, seals and other little bits are required for a newly installed head-gasket. But is there anything else worth while doing while head-gasket is being done, eg timing belt, waterpump etc etc Or follow the golden rule, if it aint broke, don't fix it kinda thing? Whats your opinions?
