I have decided to swap a TU5 into my saxo (currently a 1.4l).
A mate will be helping me out, he's mechanic, so on that front we shouldn't have any issues.

Currently looking for an engine I can buy and wondering. Do I need a TU5 specifically out of another saxo, or will any TU5 do?

What I mean is, will a TU5JP4NFU out of, for example a citroen C3 or peugot 307 drop right in. Or are the engine mounting points different? From what I understand the mounts are mounted to the chassis, and since I have a 1.4l the 1.6l should drop right in. However, when people say this, do they mean ANY TU5 will drop straight in, or only those pulled from another saxo?
