I take it the ecu warning light isn't coming on or flashing?

Did the garage that did the work put the cambelt back on correctly? If it's a tooth out, that could suggest the cause to the lack of power.

I see Haynes don't actually produce any manuals for the Daewoo range of cars, but as the Nexia is based on the Mk2 Astra, would a Haynes manual for one of them suffice instead?

I don't know the Nexia engine, but if all was ok until the head was removed, it sounds as if the cam belt has been replaced with the timing a tooth or two out.

Agreed - sounds like a valve timing problem.
