What do you think he means by 'non manufacturer engine mounts therefore engine vibration higher than normal' ??

vauxhall never made engine mounts, as a 2.0 was never designed to fit in a corsa, so therefore engine mounts have to be fabricated - vibration dont know - aint a mechanic

Becuase the mounts don't fit properly resulting in more movement of the engine

That might be why. Maybe he just means its noiser than the other engine. It won't be anything major, mounts are easily changed and readily available.

nope, just needs to be supported, and if you do one mount at a time it will be easier

well he's replied and says that the mounts he fabricated himself and they are nearly solid....does this sound normal?

Don't want to travel all that way if it's going to be a bit dodgy....

thats a good deal i got mine for £2000, the guy said it had a majour oil leak we went up looked at it, took it back down and changed the oil pressure switch which was fecked and no more leak, £3 part and saved a good load, if u get someone to check it over and find out why its so cheap u might just have the upper hand. good luck if u go for it
