(G) how to identify engine?

Ruaraidh · 12-05-2007

hi everyone im trying to find out wat size an engine is in the car i think its either a 750 or 1000. how do i find out? is there any obvious differences? thanks very much!

The dizzy cap is normally different on the 750, screw on rather than clips and has the old style coil depending on the year but if you PM the chassis No I'll stick it through eper and it will show the variant.

Don't 750s have green airboxes too?

Alan.D · 12-05-2007

Good thinking batman

unless it's been replaced in the past but your right and the cam belt cover.

They definately a had green air cleaner cover, and can you tell from the engine number ?

Ruaraidh · 12-05-2007

riteooo is the chasis number on the front on top of the grill, under the bonnet? or is that another random number

Post a photo of your car and engine and we'll tell you. What does the V5 say?

Ruaraidh · 12-05-2007

it does have the green airbox and cam cover but the dizzy has clip on cap?

Steven · 12-05-2007

That's a 750 then. It's unlikely that someone would have retro fitted the green items to a 999cc. It's a 769cc FIRE engine with 34 BHP.
