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?

yes this is true
L-reg corsa's onwards had injection on all models...
some K-reg suffered from the rear screen popping out if you slammed the doors too hard

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!

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

Very late nova's had injection though!
All the petrol corsa's defo had fuel injection, with 4 or 5 speed boxes.
