its not brand new, its a Old engine (as they have a Exchange system) total striped acid bathed, everthing brand new inside,gaskets etc etc

the engine in this corsa i dont know weather its a Exchange engine or a Brand new one as the bloke who Matt got it off had it in storage for ages.

havent looked at it yet
but moving the that car without the powersteering is a nightmare
i was thinking it was somthing or nothing.
Do you have any idea what the problem with the gearbox and Selector is? as i have taken the car up the road for a small drive and all seams fine and go's into gears without any problems??
