Surely you would find out exactly what it is you are buying before signing on the dotted line , I know i would!

As far as i know a 220kw is worth a bit more than a 200kw

going on the throttle body, its a 200kw motor. altho it also should have the engine builders name on the drivers side rocker cover.

I thought the 220kw motor had an engine oil cooler fitted, an adapter between the oil filter and block with hoses running up to an oil cooler at the front of the radiator. I have been told that this is the easiest way to tell a 200kw motor from a 220kw motor.

that and the t/b are the easiest ways to tell. the 220kw motor has the tickford wings engraved onto the t.b as where the 200kw motor doesnt. also the 200kw motor is 65mm tb and the 220kw is a 70mm t/b, but these are easy things to change ;)

i am 21 and got insurance of just car insurance it was 2500 though. My 220 has 220 written on the engine cover as the photos you have posted dont have it i would say its a 200kw engine. I agree with the others on the wheels though. Leave the ones that youve got on it.
