corsa b c20xe conversion?

[Ian H]

The more i think about this the more sence it makes just wondering if anyone fancied doing it for me? (would pay obviously)

The car is a v reg 1.0 not sure on how much harder this would make it but been told the whole loom would need changing?

Just wondering about a general price really!! I've got a driveway/garage here with a good couple of tools or could leave it with you, whatever is the best.

Do it yourself lazy fecker

If you need help then I'm sure we in the Welsh region will come and help

i did think about that, but i wouldnt even know where to begin

As it stands its either:

a) try fixing the 1.0 head gasket
b) pay £300 to have some one fix it
c) pay some one to fit an XE

Before i bought the car i thought i could do it, but now its mine im not so sure

well you'll need a doner car first (better than just buying an engine out as you can hear/check it running first) get the fitting kit, a service kit for the xe, then the region can pop along with engine cranes, tools, do the job, get paid (when i got the vaux overalls on, its £20 per hour - ask andy! ) then alls good! the pontypool boys seem to have got xe'ing down to an art form now.

easy enough to do it i couldnt get over how easy it went in when i did mine, get the bits you need together (look on corsa sport etc for someone breaking one) works out cheaper. ive got a hoist here and can lend a hand no problem.
