I dont understand why? if there done properly should be very reliable. If there not done properly then more fool the owner. Only problem mine has is poping the coil lead off from time to time.

im an amateur bodger, never once had a problem with my xe. the problems ive had with the turbo arent due to a bodged conversion.

thanks for calling diy conversion people bodgers. if only i could do them like you dave, if only

I havnt called anyone an amature bodger

didnt mean that in a bad way, just some of the conversiond that people bring to me are shockingly bad, bordering on deathtraps.

no you havent, but are implying that most are done by amateurs. im not a proffesional, i dont own my own business like some, yet id call my work for from a bodge. its just labelling everyone something.

like saying everyone who has a saxo is a twat. not nice, and not called for.

not saying anything about anyones car in paticular.

just mentioning that a lot of c20xe corsas seem to have problems at the moment due to the cold wet weather, I have had 3 phonecalls today about them having running/starting problems (well 2 novas and 1 corsa c20xe anyway) and theres a few threads in help zone.

the amature bodgers bit related to some of the c20xe conversions people have brought to me over the years. wiring looms made from hoover cords and engine mounts bolted in hand tight, novas with butchered chassis legs, home made engine mounts from 2mm thick mild steel.....

nothing directed to anyone on here or any cars in general.
