Wow quick replies there :)

its a valver although its got williams interior and markings (yes im ready to be slated lol ) Its how i picked it up . Yes i got it off ebay picked up a bargain i think :wink:

Now i know the willy markings should come off or i should put a willy engine in it and being a sensible guy i will opt for the easy/sensible option .

Anyone got a willy engine for sale :P lol

cheers

Do you know for sure what engine is in it?

Reason i ask is that the dipstick has a white marking on it and this is normally found on Williams or later 16v's, definatly not standard on a J reg, also if you say it was RR'd at 152bhp this sounds more likely to be a 2.0l engine.
Might have just fitted the 16v manifold instead of Williams one for increased torque.
See if you can get a look at the engine plaque located on the front of the block below the dipstick.

Steering wheel is standard but with a phase 1 centre pad, indicator stalk is from a Reno 5.

bit of a girly colour there mate, either that or u love the attention :D very nice lookin though.

Im betting its a 2l lump, thought that when i saw the dipstick.

Yeah i agree about the colour but hey not too fussed . It was on ebay at 980 quid with 2 days left . as it was in ipswich i arranged a viewing and went along in my mk3 astra 2.0 cdx . bloke loved the astra and we swopped ...

astra was
N reg
114k
1 mot ticket
no history
1 month tax

clio
full history
86k
tax till oct.

at first i was weary but i checked everything and found the engine sound and the rest is history as they say lol

even better if it turns out to be a 2.0l

lad was driving too and from portsmouth every week so the astra would be far more comfortable drive i must admit.

Maybe another check is to see what the limiter cuts in at.

Mine williams is around 83pmh in 3rd, 110mph in 4th. The williams are limited to 6500rpm but you can push past this barrier once they have been warmed up. to 6700rpm

was gunna say easiest way to tell is wot it hits the limiter at lol

btw welcome to the club mate

if it hits the limiter at 6500-7200 id say 2.0........hits the limiter at more than that.1800

MatBrown

Testing the limiter wouldn't work if the ECU has been chipped tho!
I would try and locate the engine tag, also the gearbox one too and see what starter motor is on it.
