Do you have any advice about my Vauxhall Corsa's misfire?
I have changed the coil pack and plugs but my Vauxhall Corsa still has a misfire. It will start ok but it's got some sort of knocking noise coming from the engine. Can you advise on the next checks that should be made?

Possibly loose camshaft retaining stretch bolts. They can't be tightened. You need new bolts.
