Don't bet on it, just google 'timing chain' and 'timing chain corsa' is the 2nd suggestion. Thats why I'm venturing into the VX forum, find out how much it's going to cost to fix my sisters 1.0

Just rattling when warm at the moment, haven't heard it myself, she has been advised to get it changed by more than one person though and has asked me to take a look for prices.

The vaux dealers were going to charge me £700 to get the timing chain tightened! Managed to find a garage charging £250 to tighten it though So look around.

My mate/mechanic normally charges around £350 for a chain change on a corsa.
