The other thing that could come into play is the fuel pump pressure. a 1.1 metro would have had a lower pressure fuel pump, insufficient to feed the injectors on a VVC. Easy enough to upgrade whilst the tank is out but not so easy when its all together.

I run a 1.8 143 VVC with a std Rover Metro tank & pump, never had a problem with fuel pressure. Though I did swap from a 1.4mpi.

Got a metro GTI tank and pump in recommended by Dudley so it should be OK.

Re: Ignition wiring

Changed out the cam sensor and it made no difference. Removed the crank sensor (with great difficulty!!) only to find I have ordered a different type

By the looks of it the long pin actually sits within the flywheel. There are no identifying codes on the old sensor(s).

Is there a list of MEMS versions > crank sensor codes > Fly wheel codes available somewhere so I can make absolutely sure I have compatible parts?

I imagine the crank sensor, just because it looks the same, could now be the wrong type also :roll:

Looking at some MGF and Metro forums it seems that the flywheels for 1.8/PG1's should all have the same reluctor pattern regardless of Mems version. All became 36/4 pattern whereas some 1.4's with R65 had 36/2. Looks like the long pin CPS is the one to go for but there are still 5 versions of the long pin listed on Rimmers so not sure which one!!! The 36/2 patterns seem to have been only for the smaller flywheels that fit into R65's but there are 36/4 versions of the smaller flywheel too. But, if you have the PG1 then it seems all the patterns are the same so you shouldn't be able to go wrong. I can't verify this though, only that the R65 ones do need care!
