oh don't worry, I'm not "down" , just wanted to find out.. so where would I find the engine code?

Good luck with that, they're under the intake manifold close to the dipstick where it enters the engine. It's a plate, not the stamped letters in the block.

/Joins in.

That's not Williams blue. I'd say that's (iirc) Monaco blue.

Nice spot though.

I disagree The 16v's were in Monaco blue which is very similar to the Williams blue. I only know this cos a 'valva' was one of my mates first cars, and aside from constant mechanical woes we had to paint a few bits.

I am pleased that you wrote coloUr however.

I've a good one going again atm

1.8's are more rev'y 2.0's are more torquey.

Either way, if you have the correct number of cam's you'll have a very nice car.

Well I gave up looking for the plate cos it's way too hard to see. Instead, I used this forum from der fatherland

I has the f7p engine. Problem solved.

Cool, thanks for posting that actually. Always wondered if there were visual differences.

Brand new, does not cost too much and with such one can get insane MPG.

Sam originally bought a grey 5 door with the F7P in and then after an incident he changed all of the parts over to the red 3 door shell and nearly finished the project and this is when it was sold to T.J. - so he now has a 3 door which is the re-incarnation of the grey 5 door if that makes sense?

It is all in this thread here: http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... hp?t=10845
