iirc it is only the 1.5. the 1.3 and 1.7 are GM built.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

according to my haynes book the 1.7 in the corsa b's was the isuzu unit as well... with pretty much the only difference being it was just a bored out of the NA 1.5, but they never did the turbo version of the 1.7 isuzu which can be found in astras and cav's.
the simple answer i guess is yes all corsa b td's were the isuzu block 
Either way the 1.5TD is the one to get, brilliant engines

yeah but why would you have a 1.5 n/a? lol
your best bet would be an astra gls with 1.7td engine with the larger turbo quite nippy, reffined for the time and over 50mpg, best car i ever had
