it is the actual pedal staying down or is it that car jst keeps going even when the pedal comes back up mate?
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!

matty i am prity sure its staying down because if i put my hand behind the pedal and push it back the revs go to normal and pricer will give that ago .
and if i accelerate gently and dont put the pedal all the way to the floor its ok but somtimes i can push it to the floor and theres not a problem its weird like.
