Look for the engine code, located below on a raised section of the casting between injectors 3+4, If it starts with CS its a 1.6 non turbo, if it starts with KY its a 1.7 non turbo, if it starts with JX its a 1.6 turbo diesel. Ask to see the log book .. The engine size is also on the engine block Kerr

I have a 1.6 Aircooled gearbox in my garage if your interested, in perfect working condition and was a recon unit a few years ago .. I am also in Bridgend .. PM me if intersted.

If the pump has been removed from the engine then you will have to not only set-up the pullies (crank/cam/pump) but also set-up the pump timing using a DTI (dial test indicator) Just because the timing marks on the pullies line up does not mean the pump timing is right. The basic kit to do the pulli...

Also check the clutch slave cylinder is not leaking and is operating fully, if its not operating correctly it will make gear changing more difficult .. my prevous 1.6td van was a nightmare to get into reverse, then found the slave cylinder knackered .. like a new box afterwards ..

The pullys will be aligned by locking the cam in position with the flywheel at TDC and the pump pully lined up with the hole in the back plate, but the timing will/may be out. You adjust the timing of the pump by undoing 3 bolts which secure the pump to engine, you are actually removing the pump so ...

I think the calc I used was this one: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html Which tells me I am going 17.5% faster than indicated, so 70Mph would be 82MPh. - so does 4246 RPM sound about right? The van is currently off the road and I have since bought a sat nav so I will go for a run in the next...

The picture below points to the immobilizer that needs to be removed (assuming you have this on your pump). [IMG:534:800]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/kerr888/IYPUMP9.jpg[/img] The two holes in the back of the immobilizer are the security screws, you could try and drill them out first, if that...

What box are you using? I am running 16" rims + the standard ML 225/16/75 tyres, which are a 'nice' (tight) fit in the arches and running gear with spacers ....There is a calculator flying around somewhere which works out the ratio/speed.. Its common to use the 2.0Ltr DK box (stronger/better ra...

I thought I had an above average selection of tools ... but forklift ain't one of them!! Yep, ok will have a look tomorrow morn for pics of the pump, but basically its the same as your 1.6 pump now, without the plastic bits on the end. Regarding power increase, I cannot really comment as I bought my...
