In this video that I managed to cobble together despite feeling as rough as a badgers arse, we continue to troubleshoot why she wouldn't start on the new carb and give her a fresh set of spark plugs. Will we get to the bottom of it and will she run? and will she drive?

Hi .you not posting videos anymore.
Just wondering about this chap... haven't heard from him for some time.
You said about changing the engine in the viva but still wanted a vauxhall motor. So what about the vauxhall magnum they did a 1.8 and a 2.3 now that would be fun on the motorway. Thanks for a good program.
Another 3 months rolls by and still not a peep from you.... where are you hiding 🙈😁🇮🇪
hello from Belgium. We had 2 Vauxhall Vivas in the 1970s. Afterwards another Cavalier. Afterwards, Vauxhall sales in Belgium stopped. .Great to see this. .
Vivas for Divas!
saudações ... from Brasil
Missing the viva vids
drove past that corsa every day for years, planned to knock on the door years ago and see if i could buy it then realised i know nowt about cars LOL
Change the engine put a 2 L in it turbo
Put some oil in the spa plugs and let it sit overnight
Petrol petrol petrol okay Spa plugs do you spell Birth’s dirty needles so if there’s water check the transmission oil service spoke freshen the oil do a service the service about the transmission check the brakes checked this but good service good service and the transmission
Wow, over 5 months and still nothing. Hope your health issues aren't the reason.
Hi Steve, hope you're well and things are good for the new year. Miss the weekly updates on you and the viva. Would love it if you ever find the time to give us a quick update that would be great. I know the constant TH-caming can be tough and real life is much more important. Just wanted to know if you and the family are doing ok, see how the Viva is looking, and more importantly....Did the garage ever get tidied!! Wishing you all the best from down south.
Matey how’s everything going ? Really miss your channel all the banter and stuff 😉 Hope to see you back on here soon ,yeah 👍🏻 Take care big man , chin up 🙌🙌
Just a quick Hello, chin up and wishing you well. There's quite a few people looking forward to hearing from you whenever you are able to make an appearance on the old TH-cam 😊 Must be a few 🕸in the viva by now.😮
Any news has something happened...
Looks like this car need a restoration this 1976 vauxhall viva need work and it's ready for the road.
R.I.P
I hope this is not the case...😔
@steve we are increasingly worried. I appreciate its private but we do care. Youve grown a lot of followers. :-( Please tell us You are Safe. 😞
Where did you get the carborator from?
Hello mate,just to ask if you are ok?
Hi Steve. I hope you and your family are all keeping well and all is good in your world. I must say I kind of miss your videos and hope all is good with the Viva mate. I know it has been said not to worry or feel you have to keep posting videos to keep us all updated but I'm sure many of us are wondering what came next. I'm sure it must be pretty difficult trying to balance a family life and job and also keeping on top of such a demanding channel as Retro Rebuild. Anyway, I just want to say not only on my behalf, but on behalf of all of your subscribers and viewers regardless of weather you continue, Thank you. Thank you for all of your video's, they have been awesome. Not only have they been extremely interesting and informative but also great fun to watch your journey as you resurrect the good old Viva. In addition, your personality, humour and delivery have made them so watchable you should have your own TV show. Anyway, all the best, Take care buddy... and keep eating the Knoppers!
Well said that man.👍
Miss the sunday vids, hope all is well.👍🏻
Hope your ok Steve 😊 missing your vids!
Corsa B is a great car, the yellow one sounds like a lawnmower 😂
I'd be concentrating on the Viva. Had a mk3 Cavalier. No power steering. One heavy brute. Next was a 96 Vectra 1.8 LS. Loved that car.
Any news ?
Give the rear backplates and handbrake mechanisms a tap with the hammer to free them.
I have still got my colour tuner sum ware It was used a lot back before my new cars become Fuel injected now I have diesel cars, but I don’t think it will work with them
where are you bud....hope all is ok.missing your vids
Fuel pump was most problem with corsa B they go at anytime they get weak blue light come die on road need spare pump in boot
Hammerite great to keep underbody rusty free but thirty pound paint can but seven years it last
Corsa B could not trust fuel pump would go anytime i used always have spare fuel just case blue light come on
😊Beautiful car
