Lol me neither! I can't put a bolt in without cross threading it! That's why I get help :-)

Thanks for the support lads bar Chris. I know I can do it. Sweet. There is only 3 pulleys that the aux belt is on tho, does that mean there is no pas?

Grab a few pictures of your engine bay and PAS pump and pipes going to it? I haven't got a haynes manual to hand - being in bed atm lol. It should be easy to tell if its straight forward or not

If its not straight forward - by that I mean the pipes run in the right direction and its an easy swap over - if its not, then try get a PAS setup from a 1.6 - bracket, pump, pipes, fluid bottle... then plumb it in.

Try find someone selling a scrap 1.6 if you can, but it off them for a few quid and use that for parts, might be an idea?

The car or whole engine? Cheers Danny, I'll get a picture later. Could I swap it from the 1.4? And in terms of the pulley, how hard would that be?

Get a whole car

If you get all the right bits then yeah I dont see why not. I'm sure the steering racks will be the same, so just needs the 1.6 piping if it goes a different route.

What pulley you on about?

_________________

The pas? Like there's only 3 pulleys with the belt round, shouldn't there be another? Dont want to rip an .si apart though lol.

Yeah should be 4. Crank, waterpump, pas, alternator.

If there is only 3, there wont be any pas.

So I cant put pas in?

Fiona us now fixed! Used some spot weld drill bits to get it out. Runs awesome considering she hasn't been started in 2 months

good lad

Yeah of course you can put pas in

Glad shes sorted mate! You think shes fast now? Just you wait until you get the 2.0 in there soon as you rev it you'll notice a difference in how quickly it revs.

Ok I'll pm you soon Danny. Ha, I was thinking that! Stupidly excited. Got some great ideas for her too. Can someone tell me the size of bolts and nuts that are mainly used on the fez please?

Thanks to everyone who gave me advice for the barrel too!

10, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19 are pretty common. Then you also have some torx bits, but it all depends what you are working on. 95% of it is nuts and bolts. Rusted in nuts and bolts

The most usual will be unlucky number 13.
