isn't there a lemon law in the UK? now i'm not sure on auctions so it might be different but that just sounds really fishy.

If u buy from a auction, sales are final, all they do is like REV the engine to see if its ok n thats it like, i mean engine sounded awesome and it was awesome for a couple of hours then ticking then dead.

well just think of it this way. if you get the other woo for 900pounds and you paid 200 for this one then you still got a hell of a deal. you got one vehicle that runs and another for parts so you don't have to try and find parts unless its really necessary.

Black,

the 1.4 on Corsas should be the same engine has yours, the management and sensors are different, all mechanical parts such as block and head should be compatible.
