Hello everyone , New to this site but think its a great, you couldn’t do better than asking the publics advice on things. Anyway my problem is I have been driving an opel corsa for about 13 years and have many a service done ,and god knows how much it has accumulated to . I started doing maintenance on the car myself and has been going well so far. However I changed the oil and put the right spec in along with a oil filter and new radiator with new anti freeze . I notice while driving the engine ignition symbol was displaying not constantly thou, I took a look at the engine and seen that the spark plug was not plugged in .I plugged it in and resumed to drive the car again , the next day the petrol was low and the engine knocked out , I managed to get some petrol out of a canister but engine still wouldn’t come on, just the initial start off sounds and then it would knock out , even when the car was getting towed I tried starting the engine again but no luck. Did I do much damage or dose it need a new spark plug , would appreciate the advice thanks

Thanks Heloisuk, Its from a 2nd hand dear over in England so Ill have to get it inspected at home Ireland might cost a bit , But I well know that some mechanics can be cowboys, however I appreciate the advice Thanks J

Hello I am a junior at this , I have been a bit concerned because of the number of post about the Camshaft breaking, and was wondering if I could avoid this from happening ?. I don’t know much about cars and I have bought a Vauxhall corsa 2.1 sxi 3dr,( year 2003). The car has done 40000 miles and is driving fine, However is there anything I could do to avoid this from happening, I would really appreciate the advice as I am absolutely broke J Thanks Chris
