im with quinn direct, i rang up explained that my 1.2 had blew up even though it hadnt, and i was fitting a 1.6 16v out of another corsa, they asked what corsa etc etc told them a sport, they said we'll send you out an engineer's report to get done and when thats back with us we can start the policy, they just insured it as a 1.6 sport now... which is what it says on my policy.
