not really worth the cost of the conversion to be honest

your better off driving the 1.2 for a year or two and getting some NCB with your insurance.... then drop a 2.0ltr in

mine shakes at 80 aswell stupid bloody thing

and kicks and screams loudly aswell

id say a 1.4 16v wouldnt be to bad an upgrade as long as yer doing the work yerself and not paying sumbody.

anyways you are iin the uk u should be able to insure a 2.0

id have one in my car in a tomorrow if i was living over there

to put a 16v in you will have to change the head,cams etc. ecu and wiring loom,could be exspensive, buy a 16v if you want one.
