Only thing I could fault against my astra was it was slow (being a 8v). And that the arches rot.
Other than that theyve never ever let me down the 8v engines are bullet proof.
1.4 8v never had oil or water az it had a leak. Thrashed everywhere doing takeaways 5 days a week. Never missed a beat in 20k miles.
1.6 8v heaters stopped working so we changed all head gasket thermo and belts becuase the thermo was behind the belts and decided as I got head gasket for nothing well do it too. But did 15k in that and the car rotted before it died.
My little 1.2 8v corsa. Thats done 135k miles I only done 3k in it but havnt spent a penny on it. Could seriously do with service as engine sounds like shit but it kept going. All it needed for mot was a few spots of welding to replace someone elses shitty welding. Not bad for a 18 year old small engine car thats done miles most diesels have
