They all say that mate.
The sticker you are on about relates to the number of valves.
your engine plaque is on your block under the right hand side of the inlet manifold...




You will see F7r for a willy..........proper motor :lol:

Or F7p for the lesser. :!: :idea: :?:

There are a few other telltale signs as to a Williams or valver engine - whats the colour of the dot on the dipstick? What sort of exhaust manifold do you have - square or rounded?

f 16 ie = f series engine, 16 valves, ignition electronique (electronic ignition)

dipstick indicates williams engine mate, you need to clean that plate up under the manifold really though. cant see the exhaust manifold in that pic to tell!

its definately a willy manfiold on that....the 16v is so much bigger than the willy one that you would be able to see it from that angle on that pic.

Clean off the plaque properly with some brake cleaner and rag on a stick as i know it's impossible to get to it properly, and then use a torch.
THEN.............. If you still can't see it





















































Go to specsavers :lol:

But as above i agree looks like a willy manifold is hiding down their somewhere. but that is not to say it's defo a willy motor, just more likely to be.
