youll need
engine
ecu
loom
transponder & key
gearbox
mounts
fuel pump

if you can get all that for less than £600 & then fitting for £300 then fair enuf, if not - just sell the 1ltr & get a 1.6 sport or GSi for a few quid more & will be a much better car too with more goodies inside!

Fuel pump on the 1.0 is fine (mpi)

U only need one mount, the front off-side.

You dont have to change the entire loom if you know what ur doin, can get away with just the engine side of the harness, will have to wire in fuel pump relay seperately though.

Its part of the kit for the 1980's childrens tv programme Transformers. You dont need to worry about it. just ask the local vaux dealer for a red transformer or what ever colour your car is

wrong

optimus prime is whats used for the older engines.

He will need the megatron unit to convert ecotech to ecotech

I hate it when ppl get that wrong.
