nah mate, the P/s models have different mounts on the left, as they are bolted into the frame, whereas non P/S models have surface mounted mounts...

thats not really important, just need to know how to change the ends on the fuel lines, as i got the MPI pump and the connectors just need a way to chnage the ends..

i aint really looked cos the engines in now...

i was thinkin about gettin a ribbed belt to the same as the v-belt..

or i will see if i can swap em.. dont think i can because of the sensor on the crank..

right so your alternator, crank shaft pulley are running a ribbed belt and originally you had a v belt, so you need to reun this ribbed belt some how, carnt ya just swap the alternator and crank pulley?

yeh ive changed the fuel pump before, thats not so bad.... so i should be able to change the pump, bodge the ends...

now another problem for you's!

i havent got P/S, so i didnt have the correct engine mount, took the P/S mount off, used my old one, but now ive made a bracked so the alternatore slides, but can i just use another belt to fit the crank and the alternator?

i askd in the vauhall place, but they aint got a clue, he said i gotta change the wheels...!?

tut tut, i hate them transponder things, lee mitchel is ya man on this, the MPI fuel pump is a multi point injection fuel pump, you WILL need htis, fold ya rear seats foward to reveal a black round plastic cover, under this is ya fuel pump which sits in the fuel tank remove ya 8v one get one from a 16V corsa any will do as long as its MPI and stick it in its place, think ya need a special tool to remove the pump but ya can also bodge it out, haynes manual time for you i tink

oh rite ok, just need to find some ends then...

yes it has feed and return..

wots teh MPI pump and where does it go?!! i wish i knew about this before its silly now!

i cant wire in the transponder cos i dont know how to wire the blue/red wires in either

think ya can just change the ends???? make sure ya got a MPI fuel pump too, as long as ya got a fuel feed and return ya will be aright, changin the fuel lines as a whole would be a bitch i would imagine, i know ya can change the ends when converting to a 2litre so dont see why ya carnt here

not to sure about changing what u have but i dont think theres a return on a 8v is there?

i thought u need to add a return pipe?

could be wrong though

and also u need an MPI pump...
