Hi, i've no idea if this engine is a straight swap, but i hope it is... there are going to be a few surprised people at the traffic lights !!

just had a thought.... the transmission will be geared for the diesel engine, so assuming acceleration doesn't suffer too much, it will have a colossal max speed too ! "all ahead warp nine, scotty!"

If i see this correctly with the diesel box you will have good acceleration but average top speed.

not alloud 2 do over 70mph in fear of losing driving licence to mr brunstrom of n.wales police anyway so top speed doesn't really matter i was told that the main prob i will have is the electronics and the wiring loom how r these different from saxo 2 ax???

the immobiliser may cause you problems depending if the VTR engine had a transponder or keypad imobiliser.do you know if the injection ecu is unlocked ?

can you find out which type of imobiliser it had keypad or transponder ? they changed to transponders on the mk1 when they changed the front grille.
