will be an 8v - for a first car they are cracking little engnies not expensive if they go wrong and I did 80k on mine without a single problem

Granted they are not quick but unless your looking at 2.0 or 1.6 TB no corsa is going to be quick

Just use it as a strpping stone to build up no claims and save for a better car

I thought they were self tightening on those engines. Material of the fanbelts probably perished. Sounds like u need a new one. All that power just rips it to bits eh? lmao
