forum rule NO TEXT TYPING!!!!!!

the 1.3 will bolt straight in but it needs the 1.3 gearbox as well.. make sure you have the rhs engine mount with the 1.3. there is a wire from the ignition barrel that goes to the coil that needs removing on the 1.0 & replacing with a new wire. this is cos the 1.0 one is actually a voltage dropping resistor..
there is also a wire from the starter that will be redundant & needs removing.

you also need the 1.3 radiator & pipes & the coil.
