Very late nova's had injection though!

All the petrol corsa's defo had fuel injection, with 4 or 5 speed boxes.

all cars over the year 1989 or something are single point injection as standard.

it'll be an injection, take off its cover on the engine and you'll see the injector then.. its a very subtle difference

tis true!

the lil air-vents below the B-pillar on 3-doors never used to be there on early K-reg models, they were put in to stop it happenin!

on my insurance certificate, it says make of model - 1.2i LS Vauxhall Corsa,
i asked them about the injection part and according to there system, every 1.2 corsa is injection? i tried tellin them that my 1.2 8v isnt injection but they wouldnt have it, saying i was wrong? am i wrong? wouldnt my insurance be a tiny bit cheaper as a 1.2 8v rather than 1.2i?
