Hi folks.
A few months ago I purchased a non going Bay window Kombi. I am used to upright motors but theses 'later' model engines are new to me.
Where is the engine number and how can I tell if it is an 1800 or a 2 litre?

TIA,

Andy.

thats all fine but there are very few that havnt been molested the only sure way of confirming is to wip off the heads and look ,and its a good idea to look at them while their off and check seating area and cracking

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
