yeah had to raise the car up a little more so could clear the antiroll bars when pulling it out, wiring up the new one when I get it shouldnt be too hard, have rebuilt the old engine 3 times already, just never removed it before!

can't wait to get a 2ltr & another corsa to play around with once I get rid of this one!

So it can be unbolted and slid out from underneath? Was gonna use me grandads engine lifter thing, but is that way easier? Just lower it on the jack or somit?

plenty of time then to find something & do a bit of saving!!

unless you decide to do something mad to a corsa (mental engine transplant or something )
