Not sure if it was that firm but sure someone on here had an engine from a company like these and had nothing but trouble. Might be well worth your while posting a wanted ad in the test section and asking a Mod to move it.

Think Daz was breaking a 2.2 recently :-/

If you are swapping the engine there is no need to swap the ECU. Keep the wiring loom it will run from your gearbox, certain wires will go to your engine but end up at the ECU.
If you change your ECU and not your key and Transponder you wont start the ode girl.. unless your from Manchester or Liverpool
