I was all ready to go and buy it..Arranged to meet when he told me it just fucked up....Day before I was going down....

He said he didn't really want me to have it as he knows me off here and the conversion is a bit dodgy and would be on at him etc etc...

No offence as much as I love your car I think thats wrong. I've seen a nova courtney conversion and even the blokes at Vaux said mine looked factory compared to the mess courtney made.

They don't even do 2.0 conversions anymore because they are so shite at doing them... Sorry, it's actually because the 20XE, C20XE and C20LET engines are so old now they are very unreliable and shouldn't be fitted into any car because they will break down... Er, yea good one Mr Courtenay salesman
