Gear selections 2.0 versus 1.8
Thanks for the two responses above and another query to clear another fuzzy aspect :-
Is there a difference in the Gear selection units and Cables between a 2 litre and 1.8 litre model. Eg a Petrol or Diesel 2.0 and a diesel or petrol 1.8. ?
Where does a 2.5litre sit in all this - same units as a 2.0 ?
I can't see any reason for a difference - but one gets used to being surprised.
Hopefully , the info in this thread will be of benefit to others in the future.
After thought - anyone any idea when VIN 4D307061 was -ish?
Follow up - after examining an excellent earlier thread on this club site about VIN numbers interpretation I believe the '4D' in the VIN above refers to 2004 and D = manufactured in Longbridge. This impliesthat some time in 2004 the Gear Selection Mechanism was changed . So cars upto and including 2003 are the same 'old' mechanism and after some time in 2004 it was changed . Facelift time ?
