there also the same power output i believe

why not get a series 1/2 for £26 like me from ebay lol

much cheaper

Yes Moe £26 is cheap for a engine but its a shame its sits in your garage and not in your engine bay

i could have it in by tomorrow if i had the ECU

and that i didnt want to re-build it before it goes in lol

I think it runs on the EECV management too so it's more integral to the car.

Yeah read an article about it and unless your going for a management swap aswell it aint worth it cos its got internal PATS and its all wired into every bit of the car(lights locks dash) and if it doesnt detect all of the parts in the car it thinks the cars been nicked and wont start

Autos are better tin many ways...

The engines aren't better but due to it being auto you know it has never been truly ragged and at top revs.

As for T reg not sure exactly when they changed, not my last series 2 out of a p reg
