bargain m8! sum1 cud of just put a 1.6 in it and replaced the 1.3 and not told them about it lol.

 

shud keep u busy for a while tho

that cudnt have been what happened, cos there was never a 1.3 XR3i which is what they got it down as or any kinda 1.3 cab

[simonh1]

can tell by the pics its gotta be a 1.6 cos it's a CVH and wudnt be a 1.8cvh in it

The later sierras had 1.8 cvh engines in them........anyway, nice work Lee.......top motor mate............

yeah, they were the only 1.8CVH's as far as I can think

[wrc]

all mk5 3is were 1.8 zetec either 105 or 130 brake and the cars on a Qplate thats why the historys all 2 f**k

[Mike C]

the most likely scenario in my eyes is that it was the early 1.6 CVH EFi model cab (like Matt's) to start with, cos i dunno why any1 wud replace a 1.8 Zetec with a 1.6 CVH cos it's a lot more work than swapping it for another Zetec, and a step backwards.

 

This would make the XR3i bit on the V5 total nonsense, but as it was re-registered on a Q-Plate in 1995 and they seem 2 have the idea that it's a 1.3, i wudnt take much notice of that anyway

 

But then that brings us back to the question, why re-registered on a Q-plate?

Stolen/recovered seems most likely scenario to me

 

We'll all help ya try and get to the bottom of this mystery Lee, LOL! As well as helping u with ur plans for it, any1 working on it wants a hand with owt, gimme a shout
