What dizzy?
Sounds like coilpacks faulty, as only one of its coils are firing.

Yours is doing the same as my XE. You need to change the Ignition Amplifier.

Should look a bit like that one in your bay. (that's not the actual one, something similar I found on ebay)
Mine used to heat up normally on 2 cylinders and i could grab the 2 inner tubes on the manifold with my hand 
Try changing it off another 1.6 and see if that works!

there isnt one on a 1.4/1.6 16v as the coilpack has an internal amplifier.
are you using the loom, sensors and ecu from the 1.6?

done a compression test today
results
1 2 3 4
20 90 240 240 dry
then did 1 and 2 with some oil in 1 went up to 25, 2 went upto 100
I am thinking maybe H/G between 1+2. What else should I look for??
