Cheers mate, that does help a lot :D

Who supplys that service, surely any garage could do it?? really considering it now, once i sell my car. FMS is near me so they could supply the parts. Any good garages round here?

Also, what is the best 2.0 lump to go for as i know theres a few different ones?????

Thanks for any help. sorry about all the questions, lol!

yeah any garage should be able to do it

best bet is a 1.6 si for the conversion. its pretty much a straight swap. the best engine for you to put in would be the series 2 lump out of a mondeo ghia.

Why Ghia?
LX, GLX, Si, Ghia, Ghia X... the engines are the same, or are they not?

but ghias are one insurance group less than the others so if your insurance group is basing your new insurance on the rating of the original car, then you will be paying less. of course you could probably just say it was out of a ghia, and you'd be alright

Thanks!

One insurance group lower :D Thats a very good point...
But it makes you wonder why Ghia is one group lower? Does it have more airbags or other additional safety/security features?
