i know this aint about a pug but a vauxhall
apparently the exhaust valve has gone on a1.0 12v engine and i wanted to know how hard they are to replace
can it be done without taking the head off the block?

Are you talking about a exhaust valve inside the cylinder head or another kind of exhaust valve?

good possibility of it being the EGR valve as they are very common to go faulty,if so they are quite easy to change.

I'm an ex Poxhall techie, but left just as the 1.0 and 1.2 triples were being introduced. They're actually quite tough little units and don't normally give grief. If it's an exhaust valve then it's head off time, which is dead easy on an engine the size of a large fag packet.
