take it out on the motorway, if it tops out at 90 its an 8v.

though i'm sure theres other ways of doing it. taking a peak under the rocker cover ma well be one. not to sure.

The only thing that looks different from the B and C 16v is the rocker cover.

B has a silver one.

scare old grannys

Im getting some for the saxo soon, i want some 18v HGV ones, having trouble finding a power inverter though to turn the 12v into 18v.

The pre 97 models were single point injection, mine was a post 97 ( despite the P reg ) and is a multi point, still has the same throbbing power though
