poped into my local vosa iva test station yesterday just to see where i stand on enginey numbers and had a chat with the iva tester who could not bleave my engine no was unreadable and asked how old should it be?
i told him april 93 he than asked what car it was from and told him fiesta xr2 1800 dohc he said well it had a cat fitted originaly on the car so regardless of block age it would need a cat fitted any ways!
i cant beleve even my local iva tester isnt up to date on this but he would be happy with a proof of date from casting numbers if that was any help
asked about blank block numbers on genuine replacements both at ford dealer and vosa both dont think thay all come with engine stamped so is this a myth then?
