Hello folks. First post and all that.

I have been scouring the google machine looking for some answers and my search has brought me here. I wonder if any of you kind folks would be able to answer me a question!

Basically I have a 95 Corsa 1.5 Turbo Diesel which was given as a gift by my old man when I passed my test last year. The engine is mint, the body is not. My dad reckons it needs a lot of work to get through its next MOT so he has aquired a 96 Corsa (petrol) with a mint body and plugged engine. Is it possible to put my 1.5 Turbo Diesel unit into the donor shell? The concern I have is with the electrics, does it need a full wiring harness switchover or can I just change the ECU.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
