smart project you've got there mate, your problem could be a few things, idle air control valve, mass air flow meter, or a few other things.

btw your number plates are illegal lol
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!
