I've been down that road mate,
i bought a astra 1.4 8v with a 2.2 16v conversion, when i got pulled i had to lie
and blag my way through telling the police woman it was a 1.4 with a plastic cover lol
after that scare i learnt my lesson

just like the time i went to a mechanic when it was jumping around, told him i thought it was the egr or the ICU and Air Flow.
pointed to the egr, and he said thats not egr thats the Idle controll valve, then pointed to the ICU and he said no that controls the fuel.
then kept blaming me for messing around with the engine. He just wouldn't listen to anything i had to say whether it was right or wrong. Thats like going to the Doctors, siting there and just saying ... FIX ME. of course your gona go to the doctors and tell them your symptoms and what you think is wrong whether its right or wrong. GRRRR
