Wall Head Brick and Banging come to mind.

Yes, I have been put off buying a Peugeot 206 now.

So I'd like to enhance the car I own at present.

TheJay

So does anyone have any advice about getting a 1.8 litre engine put into my 1.2 Corsa?

Did you see on the news the other day about the guy who chopped his car in half to avoid a parking ticket?
You could ask him to cut your 1.2 engine out with his angle grinder. That might be a start.

buy a 1.8 astra,focus,anything with a 1.8 engine in it.
your looking for reliability,dont start messing with things like this unless you really know what you are doing.
if you upgrade your engine,the brakes,suspension,tyres,exhaust and more will also need upgrading to match the performance of the engine.

TheJay

Hmmm, perhaps.

I think I'll keep my current car for now and see what I can do to improve it.

May get it resprayed, get rid of the bumps etc and have a new engine put in.

Does anyone know where or how to get a 1.8 litre engine into a Vauxhall Corsa B Model?

Don't waste any of your money on these things.

Its an old nail, albeit a reasonably reliable one. Run it until it drops and save up your money.

Okay, this is what I will do!
