Cheers for the help people :D

vauxhall do it two ways, either replace the chain (for the recall which you now have to pay for) or replace the whole lot (inc tensioner and guides)

Vaux do a 1.2 by joining it up with the old one, feeding it through, then taking the old one off etc.

No idea how much Vauxhall charge BUT warren.g on here did mine and Planty02's. He might be able to do yours, providing he can 'borrow' the part from work. He cost £100 all in. Don't get your hopes up though, he might not be able to.

Plus he is in Maidenhead area iirc.

i know a girl who got her corsa c one done cost her £350

the chains are ment to last the lifetime of the car but the noise it makes is annoyin ! makes ur car sounbd like a diesel which is abit poo haha

I've never heard that one before :!

1.2, robin

If it's like the 2.2, you're talking £500 ish :|

Anyone know how much main dealer vauxhall charges for timing chain change on a 1.2 corsa c? rough prices, it doesnt need to be precise
