3 main problems!
First is, i replaced the glow plugs in my 1.7 about 3 months ago, and already its gone back to pumping loads of blue smoke out the back on a cold start. Why would the glow plugs have gone already?
Also, ive looked in my haynes manual and cant find how to change the transmission fluid anywhere. The gearbox is ridiculously noisy so it needs doing. can anyone help with that? maybe point me to an article?
also, the front passenger side wheel is wearing unevenly on the tire, with the inside egde wearing much quicker. Its also riding slightly lower on that corner and looks as if it has more camber. what could this be and how could i fix it?
thanks

Re: Corsa Diesel problems
Glow Plugs - I would check that you are not overfuelling the chambers, could be due to faulty air mass sensor or CAT as both of these adjust the fuel to air ratio
Transmission fluid - On most corsa's there is a fill plug on the side of the gearbox, drain the transmission fluid(must be warm) there and when filling you should fill the gearbox in the same place using a pump and fill it until the fluid starts pouring out again, then put the plug back in and run through the gears with engine running to get it warm then check the level again.
Camber - Suspect broken spring or has the har been in an accident or have you clipped a kerb badly ?
PS haynes manual should tell you how to do transmission fluid.

Re: Corsa Diesel problems
The isuzu engines have no ECU or electronic sensors, so i dont think it could be anything like that. cheers for the other advise i'll check my spring and see about the drain plugJason_Corsa_B wrote:Glow Plugs - I would check that you are not overfuelling the chambers, could be due to faulty air mass sensor or CAT as both of these adjust the fuel to air ratio.
