Non OEM should still be OK, alternative really is dealer prices or a used one which will be as bad as the one you're taking off.
Need the exhaust and handbrake cable out off the way, bit of a faff and its never nice being that far under.

I put an ebay one on my xe corsa, there were no issues whatseover installing it or tranfering the fuel pump into it etc.
I did mine on standard driveway ramps. It's not difficult and helps to get a mate inside the car to lower the tank down when you remove the straps.

It's an easy enough job, just a bit of messing around. If you have access to a ramp it will make it MUCH easier. Just take the backbox and centre pipe off, undo the straps and you'll see which lines to take off. Like i said, it's easy to do just a bit messy.
