Hi Folks

If need be, just point me to a suitable, alreay written post, but if not, I have a question: My 1993 1.2 Corsa LS is showing symptoms of a worn clutch. I've read somewhere on the Net (don't ask me where, can't remember) that some models of Corsa have 'access' plates, enabling fairly quick replacememt - i.e. no need to lift or lower the engine/gearbox - but that other models don't have this, making the job much more labour intensive and time consuming. :( Can anyone help by advising me if my model has these 'access plates'.

Apologies for my lack of automotive eloquence. :D

Thanks, Rob

Not had to change my clutch yet but I know that they started putting recessed fly wheels on corsas with the clutch inside the recess making it impossible to change the cluch without lifting the engine, as your is a 1993 it should have the old flywheel and an access panel the same as the nova. unfortunatley your only gonna find out by getting underneath and having a look.

Thanks Haydn

I've since picked up the Haynes manual, which mentions this access plate. I'll do a bit more digging

Cheers, Rob
