after some deliberation i decided that rebuilding mt let was far to much hassle so for much the same price than parts to build it, i bought this new from vauxhall.



also ordered phase 3.5, hybrid turbo and some bits so it doesnt go pop yesterday aswell. now all i have to do is put it all together and get it in the car

people sell lets for not far off that price, but with thousands of miles done by the engine 
but aint you gonna have to take it all apart to make it phase 3?

it 1200 on exchange, as in you have to give them the old engine.
they are built on the same line as the new engines. more or less everything is changed

Vauxhall dont call them re conditioned engines, they prefer to call them re-manufactured engines. That lump will be as new apart from it been run on a test bed.
