One of the problems was the secondary airpump. Keeping the cav power steering pump, which meant i had to fabricate an engine mount to fit the corsa chasis. In keeping with the pump that meant a different rad (astra mk3 1.4 8v). ECU's too big can't seem to fit it anywhere decent.........hope this doesn't put you off!! The next one will be an XE again! Any problems that you may want help with let me know!
