    My dog does this when the "destination" is the boarding kennels; and it's not a "cylinder" she drops or "white smoke" that's chucked out either!!

    To the extent we don't take her to the kennels anymore.

    OP, apologies, I don't have the answer to your question, but I thought that your post needed a "bump" :)

    Coil pack/gasket?
  • How does your corsa know when you've 'reached your destination' and are not just stopped at lights?


    Please explain the symptoms better.
