Mine looks straightforward because in the Astra the throttle body is mounted on top of the inlet manifold, not on the back right hand side of the engine like in the Corsa/Tigra. | |

they're slightly more tricky, getting the hose off the throttle body is the cuntish bit, then just take the top of the inlet manifold off and follow the same proceadure as b4, | |

I was having great fun yesterday morning. I removed the airbox but one of those metal clips dislodged itself and got caught somewhere in the fan belt, so I had to crank the engine (but not start it) so that it would fall on to the floor, which it did, was worried I'd have to get a new fan belt because of the clip shredding it or something! :lol: | |

Rocker cover gasket? Isn't that like 20 mins work if that? | |

Well it would seem the cause is not down to piston rings or valve stem oil seals, it's actually down to a leaking rocker cover gasket... :o |
