Hi Max I would provide you with the details but cannot send a PM yet because my post count has not yet reached 5 and as you will appreciate I do not want to post the information Publicly do you have any suggestions how can send you the info privately? I would also suggest that If you know you are going to be away for a while that VX strongly think about getting someone to do your job until you get back even if it is just a message to say you are away or you could have posted yourself. There is nothing worse than posting something and not getting any reply Amanda

Good Luck in getting any reply. I posted regards My Corsa and still awaiting reply :mad2: . I must admit that this is the first time I have ever owned a Vauxhall and needless to say it will be the last. I have just put my brother off buying a Brand new Astra and will continue to keep doing this with anyone I know who is thinking of buying a Vauxhall. My only regret is that I talked my own daughter into buying a car the same as mine and sincerely hope that she will not have the same problems with her car as I have had with mine just after the warranty runs out .... thats if she keeps the car that long ... she is also seriously thinking of getting rid of hers now

Hi Max I will try to outline the problem as briefly as possible but if you want any further details please send me a Private message I am looking for your Help, I have a 1.4 SXI Vauxhall Corsa 07 plate, with a full service history. When the car was just 3 months out of warranty the car overheated. After getting the car towed back home and was advised was probably the head gasket that was blow.n I contacted my local Vauxhall dealer and explained the situation to them they agreed with the symptoms I was able to describe that It was probably the Head gasket that had blown, when I explained that the car was only 3 months out of warranty they stated that the repair would not be covered by warranty but would contact Vauxhall to ask if they would make a contribution towards the repair cost. I eagerly awaited the telephone call only to be dismayed when eventually it came as Vauxhall had refused point blank to make any sort of contribution. To say i was angry is an understatement but because I rely on my car for work I did not argue. As i needed the car back on the road as quick as possible and the dealer saying they could not start any repair for at least another 2 weeks I was then forced to take my car to another local garage (I would add the owner of the garage used to be a service manager at the dealers I had been speaking to) they agreed that I could take the car in which they kindly arranged for someone to tow, eventually when they looked at the car it was found that the Cylinder head had blown, subsequently The head was sent to be Skimmed and the car was duly returned and repair bill paid. You can imagine my total anger when not 2 weeks later the same thing occurred, I took the car straight back to the same garage, car was repaired again this time at no extra cost and returned once again. I had the car back 1 week this time and to my utter disgust the same problem has occurred yet AGAIN ... the car has been returned to the garage yet again and they are at a loss at to what the problem is. They have indicated that it is the engine itself that is the problem but I find this hard to accept as the car has only done just over 48k miles since new, it was last serviced in November 2009 and from the 30/11/09 until the 01/03/10 the car was actually not used as I was working away and the car was left at home as I was supplied with a car by my employer. The warranty after all is 3 years or 60k mile whichever comes first, this would appear to me to say that Vauxhall would expect the engines to last for a minimum of 60k miles. Would you not agree with this. Sorry if this does not make much sense to you but i know little to nothing about under the workings of under the bonnet of a car but please feel free to message me if there is anything that is not clear I await any reply In hope
