Thanks a lot everybody, gonna go the library next time they are open, monday now methinks. Really can't afford to have someone do it for me so ill have a look myself.
My car sounds like chitty chitty bang bang at the moment though. We replaced the exhaust the other day and the braces that hold it on at the back near the bumper where too tight so that vibrates against the bumper every now and again, also either the bonnet catch or hinge is loose so that rattles and now ive got the alternator belt to add to the list
Xaccers: Ive only just got the car and have no service history so I have no idea when it is due for its cambelt change, the car has clocked a high mileage though and if it was done on a regular basis, based on its current mileage its due in about 8,000 miles. If I remember correctly on the corsa its supposed to be either every 40,000 miles or 3 years, wichever comes first.
