Hello All I have just registered on this site after browsing Google to find any infro on camshaft problems with Vauxhall Corsa. I am a 64 year old retired woman who purchased my '55 Corsa Design 1.2i when it was 6 months old with 26 miles on the clock. At 6 years old it has now done approx 23000 miles. Being retired my car is usually just used locally although I do on occassion take longer holiday trips. I unfortunately had the dreadful experience of the having to be towed to a garage yesterday by the RAC after my car lost power on a busy local dual carriageway - need to say I was in the outside lane at the time ! My car has been serviced annually by a local garage not by Vauxhall agents but I have kept all receipted invoices for this. It has also passed the MOT test swith little work required. I was informed by the RAC man, later confirmed by my garage, that the camshaft had broken and "I was in for an expensive repair"! I was horrified to be given an estimate of approx £1400 for repair. This is a cost I cannot really afford but which I reluctantly agreed to as the car is only worth scrap otherwise. I decided to contact Vauxhall for advice but have had great difficulty in finding any contact addresses or phone numbers so I was delighted to see reference to a "Max" and an email address for him. I will try that. I have had no contact from Vauxhall about checking out camshafts up to this time. I would really appreciate some advice on how to proceed as I have little knowledge of cars or their components. I only know how to drive them ! This is my 6th new Corsa - all usually replaced after 3 years but thought I'd be safe enough to keep this one for a bit longer as it has so little mileage. I am so disappointed in Vauxhall especially after reading about the extent of this problem. Thank you.
