Thorney Motorsport have explained this in depth and it's nothing to do with vauxhall!

"Over the last 6 months we personally have inspected 9 Corsa VXR engines with engine failure and on every single one the failure was on the number 4 piston. On every single failure the car had been remapped by a particular tuning company or via one of this company's hand held ECU remapping devices."

It was down to a certain tuner not mapping them correctly. It's quite an interesting read actually:
