Hi Guys,
first post here, great forum by the look of it!
Having a really strange problem with my Corsa. I noticed a few weeks ago my cooling fan was kicking in and staying on after i had done only a small journey (shops and back). Then i noticed that at some point during my journey (usually after a couple of miles, when i stop at a traffic light or whatever) when i continue on, my car suddenly sounds like a tractor! It sounds like the exhaust has gotten twice as loud but sounds like it is coming from the front engine area not the back of the car.
Now i have noticed that when the engine sound changes my 'start/stop' stops working, the car seems to lack power and i'm pretty sure my MPG drops off a cliff!
Its really strange and have no idea what it could be. It doesnt matter what journey im doing (round town, motorways etc) it just randomly happens. I can sometimes do full journeys with no problem one day but the next all of the above happens.
Thanks for looking, i hope someone can help.
