have they just dropped a 96 engine in or rebuilt it ?, compression test is a good idea to give you a clue

Thanks pleased myself with her,slowly changed since i got it.
Must be a number on the engine to identify it,sure someone on here with more knowledge than me (NOT hard to do) will be able to tell you where it is

the ECU changed from 8 to 16-bit in 96. Not sure when though. THis would require the engine/ecu/dashloom to be replaced and isn\'t a trivial job IIRC.

k, so how would i know by lookin as this is my first one and im not a master as you chaps are LOL

check ecu code to see if its a 96 spec ecu...if the code is n3a7, then i think its an 8 bit

needham · January 16, 2007, 03:18:32 PM

SORRY to be a pain but where will i find that code on the car........

At a guess it\'ll be on a label on the ECU.

The ECU is behind a kickplate in the passenger footwell - left hand side.

English would be good:Hammer Pip is a top guy, you will not go wrong with him.

You could check the Engine number to your Log book?

The number is found on the top of the Front plate.
