Re: Fuel tank.

Hi, yes you need to fit a injection tank as the fuel pump is inside, plus fitting feed and return lines and power to the pump. Any mpi tank will be ok as it will have the mpi pump installed, dont use a spi pump as its own internal pressure relief valve (lockout valve) pressure will be too low. You m...

Re: Metro auto si

An easy way to do this would be to convert the 1.4 8v to a 16v, provided that the pistons have the 6 valve cutouts on the crown, 2 are used to clear the 2v per cyl, the other 4 claer the 4v per cyl, rover fitted these pistons to standardise production, I did this conversion to a 114sli 1995 MY, this...

Re: Cable connector

Hi, this might be a bit late, but it sounds like you have a 3 door, if so the plug is for the 5 door
