Afternoon everyone,
I’ve recently purchased a 2010 (60) Corsa VXR which is in dire need of some TLC. Luckily it seems to have a good engine and has a pretty much full Vauxhall service history so all is well. Body wise it’s got a few battle scars but I’m planning on sorting all of these bits and pieces as time goes on.
Onto the questions I’ve got:
1. Cambelt interval, 10 years/60k is that correct or completely wrong?
2. Front brake pads rattling (able to be moved with fingers) is there a common issue or a cure for these?
3. I’ve got very early signs of a slipping clutch in high gears, what’s a normal expected cost to have this changed? I’m handy with spammers but a clutch is out of my league. Experience says change the slave cylinder at the same time?
4. Drivers door - Doesn’t lock, I’ve swapped the entire door over and it still didn’t lock, any common faults to look for?
Short of those it’s a good little car, drives well (excluding the clutch).
