I dunno if you saw any other faults in my previous number but just double checked this one.

Thanks for the help.

An engine number of 4968 37 xxxx lists as a B18B according to the parts manual .... which indicates it should be in a twincarb car (142S). It may have had an engine transplant at some stage, and only a single carb fitted ?

As for year & model details, you can work that out from the vehicle ID number .... see here http://www.vlvworld.com/indexframe.html?production.html
