just put a deposit down on a astra 2.2 sri, BUT on the log book it is down as a 1.8  its never been a 1.8, it came out of the factory as a 2.2 and has the 2.2 engine in it. how easy is it to change the details back so it is a 2.2 on the log book?

Could be a ringer!
Why in gods name did you put a deposit down if you have this concern.

Ditto... Mistakes like that will rarely happen. What does the engine code/number say on the log book?

Just like your 'mechanic mate' said the Astra turbo was sound because he is a proper 1337 vauxhall tech?

shut it seth, the car is in brill condition for its age, all the codes match up, made sure we checked them when he told us the log book was wrong, we can get him to change the log book for us but that will take time so was wondering how easy it would be for us to do it

TBF DVLA do make a fair amount of mistakes with logbook details, ask anybody who has had problems with changing the CC!

It's easy to make these mistakes when it's not your hard earned money used to buy the car

TBH it sounds like a lot of effort for a bit of a dodgy car, just think of the tax and insurance issues!

Until you have to declare the astra as being converted to a 2.2, as that is what the insurance company will see it as...

Broken springs on mk4 astra's are standard issue i think.
