Not where I live mate.

I know the mounts are going to be different but I'm wondering if I the diesel mounts are different from a 1.2 or 1.4 8v / 16v say?

Anyone else?

i have done 2 now on Diesal base cars.
Also the Bucket was a 1.5TD to start with.

just a few after bits needed, the money you save on buying a Diesal shell you spend converting it

i have not yet Adam. I may need to pay a visit. Its just a pain getting time off work and that.

Want to get something this weekend. Frustrating me having an engine sitting but nothing to put it in. A getting beaten off a Micro tonight when tried to overtake it in my Vectra was the final straw.
