Any reason to keep the Tigra? I'd imagine fitting a new/secondhand engine would cost more than what the car's worth TBH; given I can see '97 Tigra's in the classifieds for £500... otherwise a visit to the local scrapy is on the cards I reckon; find a similar engine from a corsa/astra of the same vintage.

Agree with the above really - I would think it would be cheaper to by a replacement Tigra

But whatever you do, stay well away from the cowboys out by Heathrow (can't remember their name, which I know isn't helpful, but they change the trading name every couple of months, when TS go after them) But I think they used to be called Southall engines

Type that into Google, and it'll give you a starting point as why not to use them
