seems to be common problem on 1.0 dohc corsa, mine has been sounding like a diesel for the last 50000 miles
now 95000 on clock, noise seems to come from timing chain

mine sounds exactly the same.
almost like a diesel?
its horrible.
no idea if it can be fixed, seems to be common.
i'm just gunna save up a few £ and part exchange it for a newer one.
