Hi there.
My sister owns a Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 SRi, I think it has a Duratec engine (might be a Ecotec - i'm really tired so its one of the two).
The car is fine when its actually driving but when it's stationary for a bit, like 5-10 minutes the temperature rises and the car begins to smell and starts shaking, (the orange engine management light comes on too).
What do you guys reckon the problem might be?
At first I thought it may be the head gasket from her description but i've checked the cooland expansion tank and all is fine there. So now im thinking it could be a faulty thermostat or something.
Any ideas?
