You will know its a 2.3 turbo as they usually came with a 4 speed plus OD box due to the torque the engine had chewing up the 5 speed that Ovlov had at the time....
Unless yours is auto, then I'm stumped.
Random factoid for the day.

Mines a late one with a stronger 5 speed, improved efi, electric fan etc etc, the earlier ones came with 4+O/D, see i'm learning already, i did seek advice before purchase.

Excellent I know someone who bought one of those but it turned out to be missing 300cc ;D lol Strange, so do I. You will know its a 2.3 turbo as they usually came with a 4 speed plus OD box due to the torque the engine had chewing up the 5 speed that Ovlov had at the time.... Oddly, the 2.3T-that-was-in-fact-a-2.0T had a 4+OD box - possibly one of the reasons for the mistake.

I had a low mileage FSH 1992 J plate 940 SE turbo in about 1995 with a 2.0 turbo and 4 speed + OD so I don't think its a reliable indicator of engine size.

A few months ago I would have suggested Citroen 16" or 17" steels, but I tried one on vambo's 240 and they are in fact 5x98 not 5x108 like is stated in all the reference material i've found lol.

Even the GLT models and I think the early GL models with the 531 head and VX3 camshaft had the M46 4+OD trans. The M47 trans are just rubbish while the M90 is much better, if still not bulletproof. I think the M90 came out in 1995.
