Im gonna call em tomorrow !

Insurance was easy but this is a bugger

erm, the engine number is stamped on it somewhere, but i dont know where, can you get hold of the V5 from the donor car, failing that ask vauxhall, and get an engineers report at the same time. the tax, shouldnt matter, as long as its got the correct reg number on it, and cost the right amount.

oh yeh, you may need an engineers report to prove its safe to drive, and the works been carried out properly..

yep but its worth it m8, just incase somethin goes wrong. Is the corsa the red top engine by the way?

noway

It is m8 when I first bought my car it was still registared as a standard gsi so I had to get an engineers report to get it changed over, costs about £100-£150.

christ, it cant be this hard surely !

I think you need an engineers report to go with the engine, its for proof of conversion.

the tax is in my name cos it was sent to me etc but on the V5 form where you need to state the changes it has my dads name

Im changing my tax documents over as i have my renewl come through the post stating the engine size is a 1389 cc when i beleive its now a 1998cc ?? (2 litre conversion)

The thing is at the top of my V5 it has my dads name as he bought the car 1st, but its now in my name but i havent had a new V5 form ?!?! i need to send the form back stating the changes "engine" but there is a section there stating engine number, not sure what to do :boggle:

what exactly are you tryin to do greg??

I think they all are diffrent. Haven't a clue how you would find out the size of your 2 litre. Sorry. :)

If your goin to tax the car m8 then the VIN number should be on the MOT certificate.

ok cheers mate, im changing over my documents for my tax etc

it has a section for the engine number aswell, do i leave that blank ?

1998cc

When you get your forms for a 1.4 engine it states then engine size as 1389 soooo whats the actuall cc of a 2 litre ??
