just guaging intrest to see if it would be worth sellin.
right so my mam has a 1400 16v tigra the head /block and all ancillerys are fine no oil leeks doesnt over heat ect ect has a very slight nock when cold but goes off after about 1 min . but since she bought it 2 years ago its had an on going problem with the egr valve . and the inlet she is now sick of it so im going to fit a 1400 mpi 8v i have. so the 16v engine plus key ecu transponder and all ancils would be for sale . for a decent offer

i could also get a vid of it running or if you liv close by you could come and hear it running before i remove it.:thumb:

Needs a price as per rules.
Why dont you just blank the EGR and then just plug the egr back in, problem solved.
