Rip it all out and got Z20LET, you'll NEVER have a proper working dash.. The Corsa C has got a body control module that controls the dash electornics.
People leave the old ECU in so they can still have a dash and power steering.
I'll say it again: I've never, ever, ever, ever, ever seen a C20XE engined Corsa C that hasnt got LOADS of electrical problems and almost useless dashboard.

Its just not worth all the agro mate.. Z20LET is such a simple conversion by comparrison (mechanically and electronically) and its a far, far, far better engine..
And yes I am talking from experience, I have done the electrical work for serveral ZLET C's..

I agree there is alot more work in getting the CLET to work with the dash but you said made out it was not possible when it can be done if you know how.
ZLET wiring is very very easy, even more so if its a 1.2 16v or 1.0.
