Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

Hi everyone,

I have recently been donated a Corsa Breeze 1.4 by my mum. I think she was feeling sorry for me for not being able to go out and buy one myself

Basically she has had the car since new and has looked after it well, but I am paranoid that it will break down on me as soon as I have spent a little time with it. To her it would look like I have been pushing it hard and basically driving it to an early death.

Today I was driving normally in traffic and at one point I was sure I saw a small puff of smoke come from the front vent and up over the bonnet as I pulled away at some traffic lights. This made me paranoid and I started to think the car smelt warm. Now, the temp gauge was normal and the car was driving fine. I didn't notice anything else up. Nobody else who has driven the car recently (mum and sister) have noticed anything strange.

Please can someone put my mind at rest and tell me it's nothing and I am just being paranoid... or is there something I should know!?

Also, this is my first car and I know literally nothing about caring for it. Can someone point me in the right direction for general maintenance of this model?

Thanks,
TK
