its a diesel, u'll have to giv it a little heat before u start it due to the way diesel engines work. not sure how yours will work but on my van i turn the key so far and i get a little yellow coil light come on on the dash, just do that for a second or 2 and it starts straight up. check you hand book for pre heating.
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!
