Tiny update:

As the mk3 bottom rad hose was to small to reach the AEX thermostat housing i bought a metre log hose and when it was fitted the bends were restricting the water flow

so I've goot a Renault 5 GT Turbo top rad hose which has the bends in it fits like a glove :)

it also has a bleed screw which is quite cool

cheers

Red thru the topic an i must say well done, love the idea of a 1.4 more-modern engine in a mk3. got a few questions for you, how hard was it to fit the engine in, on the pics it looks identical to the 1.0, it cant be that easy? and why not go all the way and swap the electronics, cant see the bike carbs being better than multi-point injection, but I'm a newbie so i might be wrong, and whats the difference in pulling power compared to the ol-faitful 1.0?

Cheers, gordan

p.s. polish the rocker cover, that paint is a no-go :roll:
