how much more would it cost to re-build a LET rather than a x14xe? if any? my 1.4 sport leaks oil, not sure where from but suspect head gasket is in the back of my head. so i was wondering weather it'd be worth gettin the 1.4 re-built, or go for the let which ive always dreamed of

lmfao at those prices! You really paid that for bits?
You can get a cam belt kit for about £80, waterpump about £25, main bearings for less, 'performance' big end bearings for less...
www.autovaux.co.uk, dealers have a laugh.
X14XE and C20LET parts cost about the same.
