Hybrid or not?

[GT-Facer]

I am looking at buying a clio that is clamed to be a hybrid, and i was wondering if you guys could tell me a easy way of telling if it is or not, i.e where the engine type is printed on the engine.
Also the seller says:
"the car hunts and chugs for the first 10 mins then goes away. ive been told by members of the owners club that it could be a temp sensor or the throtle possitiong sensor or the iscv (idle speed control valve)"
Is this true? And is it as easily fixed as he implys?
Cheers

yeah may be idle control valve nothign major

and the engien code for 2lr is F7R on the plate but its behind the rad and v hard to see!!! also look tu for the white di[stop dot. and loo kat a few pics of f7r and u can tell from the rear of the block. and drive it u can feel the difference wen it comes into cam/ tourque earlyer!.

redline it,take it to max rpm,if it gets to 7.1 its a valver

[snowman]

not a clear indication but if its got a tubular exhaust manifold aswell,allthough some hybrid owners keep a valver one fitted for torque reasons

The F7R block had strengthening veins down the back. Do a search for the pic its on here somewhere.

on the test drive, hold the revs at 2500 in 2nd. if it pulls well instantly, its prob a 2.0 if it struggles a bit below the 4500 mark .itl be a valver.
