think ya can just change the ends???? make sure ya got a MPI fuel pump too, as long as ya got a fuel feed and return ya will be aright, changin the fuel lines as a whole would be a bitch i would imagine, i know ya can change the ends when converting to a 2litre so dont see why ya carnt here

tut tut, i hate them transponder things, lee mitchel is ya man on this, the MPI fuel pump is a multi point injection fuel pump, you WILL need htis, fold ya rear seats foward to reveal a black round plastic cover, under this is ya fuel pump which sits in the fuel tank remove ya 8v one get one from a 16V corsa any will do as long as its MPI and stick it in its place, think ya need a special tool to remove the pump but ya can also bodge it out, haynes manual time for you i tink

yeh ive changed the fuel pump before, thats not so bad.... so i should be able to change the pump, bodge the ends...
now another problem for you's!
i havent got P/S, so i didnt have the correct engine mount, took the P/S mount off, used my old one, but now ive made a bracked so the alternatore slides, but can i just use another belt to fit the crank and the alternator?
i askd in the vauhall place, but they aint got a clue, he said i gotta change the wheels...!?

nah mate, the P/s models have different mounts on the left, as they are bolted into the frame, whereas non P/S models have surface mounted mounts...
thats not really important, just need to know how to change the ends on the fuel lines, as i got the MPI pump and the connectors just need a way to chnage the ends..
