it could be you throttle position sensor

or majorly your headgasket if you car gets hot at the same time and is sucking air into your water system (may not be the case as sounds unlikely)

cud be 101 things tbh mate, i would take it to a garage and get a diognostics done, that way u dont spend silly money replacing parts for no reason.
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!

I do hope you come back and let us know how you get on with the steel seal stuff. It has good write ups on the site, but there again they would hardly print bad reports, now would they.
Hope it all works out for you,

is your engine warning light coming on aswell mate?

with the idleing problems and juddering does sound like your idle control valve tbh mate i had the same problem on my first corsa, took it to a mechanic who hooked it up to a diagnostics and that was the problem so best to have it plugged in then it will tell you for cert and you wont need to spend out on parts which you dont need :)
