In the Astra F, the X14XE has a different inlet manifold and throttle body (and it doesn't have the same induction roar as with the Corsa engine when fitted with a cone filter or drilled airbox), and the 1.6 16v is the X16XEL - only 100bhp, not sure of the difference between the Corsa and Astra engines.

ah right, was the 1.6 produced from 1999 onwards on the facelift models only?
That explains why lee manning then put the tigra engine into the corsa!

That car is up for sale now im sure of it
