Been looking into engine code, 16SH. some places it says it is a big block 1600? what is this about?

Does this mean more of a head ache gettin g stuff for the engine?

Basically the 1.6s and sh have more in common with the 1.8 and 2.0 engines rather than the smaller 1.2 - 1.4 etc engines. There's normally plenty of spares knocking around, so you shouldn't have any problems there. As for goodies a 4 branch from a early 1.8 will fit a 1.6s/sh. You can also get a weber 32/34 dmtl to replace the varajet 2 carb. I've got one on my cav, and had one before on a small block 1.6, they seem to make a difference. Twin Weber's or bike carb's sounds like a plan though 

our 11 year old German shepherd Remo, sadly he's starting to feel his age now

got a few of them stinky ferret things as well, but no pics.

Ceramic blue is a sort of purply blue isn't it? Mines not stayed nordic was pretty well faded! decided on tahitti blue in the end. It was seeing that nordic blue door in one of your pics that made me ask.

what blue is it going? nordic? I do like nordic blue lx's  , original plan for my blue saloon was to lx it.

We fit the whole interior (and i mean all of it) in as well as the stuff i already had but he had a blue dash too and there was no way in hell it was going in there.

No matter, i didn't really need it.

Shame the weather was so bad, otherwise I'm sure we could have tied it to the roof. 

either that or a base model dressed up as a calibre  ;D

yup thats the feller, on the rac reg check it shows up as having no model.

ah right that could be the one then - will check after i finish at work and post reg tommorow- what is calibre register - have you got a list of all calibres made?

A list of known calibre's, about 110 or so.

no E***DHG's on the calibre register but there's a E***DHJ

alot don't seem to have the number under the headlight, 2cav's whats the reg of your calibre?

wonder if this one is on the register?

would be nice to know the reg KJBOpel400, if you don't want to post it here pm it me.

think brett's thinking of selling it soonish, so you may well be able to get it back 

nice one lol

yours looks in alot better nick than mine did/does though! Don't suppose you know what dealer yours was orginally sold from?

kewl another BRB, mines E597BRB

saw your post on migweb, nice to know the cars got a good home.

thats a tad oxidized, it'd provide some good pics for the mk2cav buying guide!

your calibre's on there already, but if you want to pm me your full name/ area Ben I'll add that to.

use image shack to upload the pic, then copy and paste one of the links it will give you into the message box, there's a step by step guide somewhere I think on the site. Hope thats helps.

John , Anna valley in salisbury sold 23 calibres thats where all the jaa's came from

the 23rd one must have had a slightly different reg, as in didn't follow on numerically like the others. Cheers for the info I'll add that aswell.  ;D

there looks to be 22 F***JAA's and about 8 other F reg calibre's, corey if you want to pm you name/address etc I'll update the details for F603JAA 

managed to find them eventually  It'l be the none adjustable column type you'l be wanting? Its had a small hole drilled in the top half where a alarm led was fitted but thats it. Its yours if you want it?

welcome to the site, I'll probably have some steering cowling panels you can have somewhere, I'll just have to find them. 

If its a auto choke varajet2 carb, it could be the auto choke playing up. Would be a good idea to put some fresh fuel in it, as its stood for over a year. Unleaded goes stale after about 6 months, which wont be helping. Hope he gets it going, free mk2's are the best  ;D

list updated

from the sounds of it, its basically a small block 1.6 spi like we have here, but some of them have a even lower CR probably to cope with lower grades of fuel.
