Re: Corsa b engine knocking?
Can you tell where the knock is coming from?
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Corsa b engine knocking?
Yeah vids have to uploaded via photobucket or similar
If you get a chance tomorrow get a big screwdriver and touch the engine with one end and put your ear to the other and try find where the knock is, if you can Jack it up and do it to the block aswell, the screwdriver acts as a mechanics stethoscope

You could get this but if you have a big screwdriver it's sort of the same

I doubt it's the chain, chain ticks when oil is old and if it's slipped well it would sound like you threw a brick in a washing machine(YouTube it)

I didn't think it would have been as the most the car has moved in 5 months is a 6 mile trip in December and forward and back on the garden

That will cause the chain to be noisy, but it shouldn't knock it would sound very tappy
You'd need to upload the vid to YouTube or photobucket etc so I can hear it
