:lol: oh yes there a right pain in the arse. you need to jack the engie up to take the weight, then take off the drivers side engine mount (removing the mount is by ar the biggest pain in the arse) then its just a case of removing a few bolts, replacing the water pump and seal then do the reverse. wen u come to put the belt back on we just put as much as we cud on the used a rench on the bottom pulley to turn the pullys untill it slipped on, (just like u did to ur bike chain we u wer little :lol: )

me and liam (bluecorsa b) replaced mine before pvs. niether of us had done one before but were pritty good with cars so it went good. but like i said the biggest pain is removing the mount, because the bolts are such a badger to get too.

i wud say if your good with cars and have the correct tools give it ago.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!
