The problem with using an MPi car is that the emissions regulations are really strict and you may struggle to meet them with a carb.

easy to kid the emmissions on just! make the engine go lean on tickover by creating a small leak on the inlet manifold (ie) pull a vacume pipe off on the inlet manifold or create a 1mm orafice just for the mot reasons.

This is an MPi car therefore 1st August 1995> A carb will never pass the emissions test for which the car has to pass. The VIN number is used to determin the specific emissions limits, not the engine number. The VIN denotes which engine is fitted from the factory. http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=462092 Andy has it right, use an older engine with the original engine number (many many more of those about than the MPi) and be sure to instruct the MOT tester that the engine is older than the car. Print off one of the numerous lists of engine numbers floating about the internet, but in my experience simply showing them that the engine number suffix of the MPi or even SPi does not match the engine fitted should be all that is needed. That information is freely available in the Rover Workshop Manual, and is probibly as official as its going to get! On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
