This foookin poxy tigra has developed a horrible missfire between1500-2000rpm
You can accelerate through it and not notice but on a constant throttle it rocks the fookin engine out!!!

Andy, hate to break some bad news to you mate but whenever we've had Tigras they've been nowt but trouble. Like Tiff said, if you're very lucky, it'll just be the plugs and/or leads....

Sell it soon dude cos I don't know if you've asked a Vauxhall Dealer or Local Mechanic how much a cambelt change is?? And also whats involved........

Sounds about right mate. Try Drive Vauxhall for the actual belt, they're pretty cheap, we buy all our engine oil and batteries from them, the auto factors just can't comepete with the prices...
