So, I've sourced the engine (1.6 liana) and am planning the swap in a few weekends.

I think I've got everything covered/planned 
- Swapping all ancilaries over
- new clutch + brgs
- new engine mounts

Are there any obscure "gotcha's" that or any advice from people who have done this?

Thanks

The spigot to mount the oil filter is the only bit that might catch you out. It's easiest to have a new one on hand as removing the old one isn't straight forward.

Just to circle back I completed this upgrade over the weekend (delayed due to buying a dud engine)

Evrything was pretty straight foward, apart from a couple of minor issues such as locating pins in the engine that needed removing.

It really has transformed the vehicle, now pulls like it used to 1 or 2 gears lower. Well worth about £700 and a weekend's work. Fingers crossed there's no issues.
