Vauxhall Corsa 96 1.5TD starting problem - Daz
HI, recently my wife's Corsa has been a bit stubborn to start requiring a few revs rather than just turning the key.

It also emitts quit a cloud of grey smoke.

Any ideas please?

Has it got the Isuzu engine fitted?
If so, might well be that the valve clearances need re-shimming.

Hi, yes it is indeed the Isuzu engine.

Any idea on cost of this please?

And would you go main delaer or independent?
