well i had head done and valves realigned and then a couple hours later there was some terrible knocking coming from car like diff but it got worse
car cut out on me after a big klonk aa come say theres no oil at top of engine seems like circulation has bee cut off hence noise weird taphitts got towed home but today it started wat yu think is it fixable?
engine started so its not ceased completely!
i love my corsa! was gonna buy a 180 break 206 gti today but now my corsas showing signs of life lets see wat happens just hope its not like frankenstien!

only takes the headgasket to go on the wrong way round and it will block the oil galleries sounds to me like he messed up somewhere
