The only fault (I'm tempting fate!) we've had ever with a 2002 Corsa in 7 years was a snapped belt tensioner, fixed under warranty. Looked like a poor casting.

Reader and backroomer's comment.......

...........why is this question presented as a mass of unintelligible text without any passing acknowledgement to punctuation or educated communication ? It is simply too much of a chore to plough through it.

"without any passing acknowledgement to punctuation or educated communication ?"

OP has helpfully visited the forum (his first post) to impart information having solved a problem - there is a generosity of spirit towards others.
Your own post has contributed nothing at all to the thread.

Think how inhibiting it would be if every post were to be judged on its grammar and not content - people without a literary background would be inhibited from posting and all that would be left would be judgemental elitism.
