Had a bit of a free day today as I was waiting for a BSI unit from a Citroen to come back from repair
(Yep! They have the same problems too!) Anyway, decided to have a play with my car for a change, and I just couldn't resist posting these.
These are the two carbs from my Corvette.
(Predator 930CFM's each)

This is one carb shown next to the throttle body from the 206 1.6 ltr (They basically do the same job, ie: control air/fuel mix)

No wonder hers is better on fuel

Sorry boyz, what is a BSI unit? I have no idea what does what! Oh and is my 1.6 16valve? I assume it is

BSI is the smoke & mirrors magic box that controls all the electronics on post 2002 Peugeots & Citroens- Every thing from the wipers to the imobiliser.
1.6 is 16V (as is the mighty Chevy- 8 cyl X 2 valves per cyl)
Gazza it's 454 cu in (7.4 ltr) and a bit "breathed on" ( oh yeah! It doesn't sound too bad either)

My other half is debating buying a White 2011 Merc SLK 320 AMG... is he mad...! Then again, when we test drove it, and drove it with a heavy foot at times, it didn't seem to use much fuel as its Blue or something! Gorgeous car but would put my Polly in the shade slightly! Will he or wont he...

Hey that's a nice car, but if you think Peugeots are difficult to fix, then Mercs take it to a whole new level. My ML has got the airbag light on at the moment, Plugged in my Star diagnostics, and the airbag module has had it.
They are coded to the cars VIN number, so it's not a straightforward "bang a new one in" type of job., and Merc prices make your eyes water.
Definately a nice car though (can't talk him into an AMG63 black can you?)

This would still have 2 years warranty on but hopefully will not go wrong. He has decided he is having it and we will be picking it up Saturday.
We did discuss the other models and the 63 Black but the price difference was immense, we are happy with this one and looking forward to picking it up. Only done 5500 miles and we have picked up a bargain compared to a brand new one.
