My rocker cover is plastic, i started scrubbing mine with wire wool (not realising if was plastic) and all the paint started to come off!
Where can i get a rocker cover for an 1.4 SRi 8v?

yeah same with my vectra rocker cover, i put it in the acid bath at work for a bit and then realised its plastic when the dirt came off, i thought it was too light for aluminium. thats some shiny engine work going on there!

[quote=\".\"]tis quite amazing what 89p can do to your car!!! i poped to savers earlier and bought a boz of 10 brilo pads and heres the results after just half an hour and using 1 pad
it had actiually got worse than the before picture, but tis only other engine pic i could find. I\'m pretty impressed...
and before somebody says that i should remove that metal bit where the hot air feed plugs onto i tried that but the bolt got stuck in my only 10mm socket and i can\'t get it out and too fiddeley to get a spanner in there[/quote]
or you could use this autoglym engine cleaner, much better than brilo pads im preety certain

If you have a copy of total vauxhall, they have a spec section at the back that compairs all the sports ranges.

total vauxhall is preety wank though, they think the corsa c is the corsa b, and the corsa a the corsa b which infact is the nova

ahh even i know this bit
The Nova was the nova
In the design stages the nova had 2 names corsa or Nova, Nova got picked
the nova and the corsa are related by several parts, wheel hubs certain panels etc, the corsa is just an evolution on.
Unofficially the Nova was called the Corsa so when the \"real\" corsa came out it got nicknamed the Corsa B
So if you think about it if there\'s a b there must be an A somewhere ... Tada 1 Nova
Hope that makes sense
