   how easy is it to swap a vtr engine over?
   
   i have a 1.6 engine out of a 206 was a silvertop single plug same as my vtr engine is
   
   but my clutch is fucked and i dont have the cash for a new clutch, i know the other engine has just had a new clutch recently fitted so i was wondering how easy it was to swap engines over?

   I know a friend who put a 206 engine in his 106. And he wasn't the brightest of sparks so i cant see it being too hard.
   
   However im not sure on mounting points, loom, drive shafts etc. I've never looked at a 206 set up, despite by mum and dad owning one for the last 3 years lol.
   
   The 206 engine 'MAY' be heavier and sacrifice handling.
   
   It would probably be easier just to get a new clutch, back street garage shouldnt charge too much.
