Corsa Diesel

Just wondered if anybody can tell me how to spot the Isuzu engine in a T reg corsa.

I have a 1.7d and the starter has given up. i need to know to get a starter

Vauxhall's own 1.7 diesel has the injection pump in front of the engine & the exhaust down the back like most things, but the Isuzu engine has it down the back with the exhaust coming out the front side of the engine.
This is assuming they're the same as the Nova, Astras etc as I've never actually worked on a Corsa diesel!

do any of vauxhalls diesels have the same block (or gearbox mount holes) as the c20xe (and x20xev)?

I expect the proper Vauxhall 1.7 diesels have similar mountings as they're based on the 8v OHC engine as the redtop was.
It gets confusing as there were Vauxhalls with a Vauxhall built 1.7 & Vauxhalls with an Isuzu 1.7, both of which came in N/A & turbo versions.

In the later stuff i'm not so sure but I think there are still Isuzu & Vauxhall diesels fitted, a mate who does a bit more work on modern diesels reckoned the Isuzu motor were fairly bomb proof but the Vauxhall ones not so good.

The isuzu ones are good engines. Theres the GM 1700 aswell as fitted to the astras just to confuse matters more.
