im thinking of getting the 1242 engine but being a bit poor at doing things myself (although my crowning moment was fitting my disks myself!) i wondered if you knew how much something like that would cost to get fitted? how much torque does it have? would my exhaust i have now fit onto it?[?]

The 1242 has about 30% more torque than the 1108, it really makes a diference. You're looking at a day for a garage to change the engines over, probably about £200+ labour, plus £150 or so for an engine. Your current exhaust will fit if you either lengthen the downpipe or put a spacer in between manifold and downpipe.
If you're going to do it, it's the Punto 60 engine you're looking for.
