Must be a northern thing. 
I think alot of cars are due to fuckup in this season anyway, regardless of size or age.

C20XE came out in 1988 thats 18 years ogo
Most have had a hard life, and getting tired.
Most are on 100k+ which i dont think is to bad to say just an odd sensor fails here and there.

only problems i ever have with mine is sensors, engine wise its strong and pulls hard in every gear
as with ANY car with an engine the age on an XE it is going to have problems.

i ve only had two probs with my xe
1- snapped the back gearbox mount (it was gettin ragged of the line and ijust as i put it into 3rd *boom* only a minor prob-the astras/cavaliers/cavvys have 3 bolts for fixing it, but corsa has two, but with a custom made gearbox mount its all
2- think maybe the top end is ticking (prob the tappets) but it aint gettin looked at just now,as i ve got other things to spend my money on just now
but other than that its been ok,rain,frost,snow,sunny,wind
there is a lot of ruff conversions out there,and i think its just people that think "i want a xe" find someone who "knows" how to put it in,and jus throw it together. but i have respect for people who can do the conversion properly/safely without using the conversion kit.
