    something you want to do is blank the EGR valve as the engine's out and you use the start/charge loom off the corsa and the loom around the throttle bodie need's the plastic casing taken off or you will struggle getting it in.

    Cant see an EGR valve on it so thats one thing less to do And is the nova loom plugged at some point or does it just run into the engine bay and i need to splice into the whole loom with the 6 pin connector?

    Don't bother splicing it with the connector, just use the standard nova stuff on the corsa alt/starter, No need to **** about with the corsa start/charge loom at all.

    Give me a shout if you need help

    Cheers alex i have had a quick look when i was taking the engine out and if im correct theres 3 wires to the charge loom on both the nova and the corsa? so its just a matter of connecting them?

    Got the fan belt sorted now, picked up my spi tank last night, big thanks to greame for that, i was under the impression that i was to put the pump out of the corsa but theres a bit of a size issue,

    Anyone know what pump will directly fit as i have no idea :D
