No, the 160 engine is the same as the 180 engine.

The engine was restricted using engine mapping, different sized inlet and I believe a smaller exhaust.

They did it because the auto box couldn't handle the power I think.

Nope. The light was on after I fixed the timing, so it has something to do with that, and I'm pretty sure it's the sensor/plug. I assumed it was the plug, and as the car drives perfectly fine thought I'd have a look at it one lunch time.

I did lose a little oil when I pulled the dipstick tube out, but I topped it back up again.

I'm pretty sure it's something really silly, I'll re-check the plug tomorrow and the dipstick tube. I'll also check all the pipes are connected to the head/inlet correctly.

I've text the lad to say not to come, but no-response.

The 160 is also a manual ZT engine - The ZT auto was 180bhp.

Oil light fixed.

It was just the plug to the sensor.

7 watchers now, and I've had another message from someone asking what the best price is I can offer. He gets paid next friday apparently.

I always reply with a higher asking price, that soon shuts them up! Had a few after my daughters car, all tried knocking me down, didn't budge as knew it would sell.

I've gave the car a quick wash and uploaded some additional pictures to the listing on ebay.

Well, that lad never got back to me about the car. Maybe the oil light scared him off.
