i have a 98 1.2 16v auto corsa.

ive managed to locate a new engine for my corse accept its a manual engine and i have a automatic.

how would i go about putting a manual engine into the auto?

also the new engine ive seen it but not totally sure on it,
its got dark brown/black oil in it looks like it hasnt has a oil change in a long time!
does look a lil tatty and has done 117,000 on the clock accept the breakers yard dont seem to think its the original engine so dont know the true milage.
i am going back tommorow so they can do a compression test and look down onto the top of the pistons.

do you think i should bother or look for another?

look for another, thats alot of miles, and they're just fobbing you off so as you'l buy it. i wouldnt buy an engine with over 100,000 at all.

thats what i was thinking i dont want to get it to be honest, i just need a new engine. plus just the colour of the oil started sending alarm bells off!

From a few sentences i read, it seems a crap engine with high price of purchase, you should keep looking m8, or pay the consequnces of been hastey

i rejected it not worth making another mistake. missed out on a corker this morning though auto as well. pot luck i guess, just hope i find one soon.
