Re: Will this '03 TF inlet mani fit my X Reg F?
Different size injectors, yes the fueling is done by the ECU but if the injectors are a different flow rate ( imagine a 2mm hole against a 4mm hole) the results will confuse the ECU and probably result in rough running and engine light coming on, the injectors have markings on but I think 135's are ...

Re: Will this '03 TF inlet mani fit my X Reg F?
Save doing it twice if there was a fault, better the devil you know, also if it's from a 135 they are diffent injectors ( flow rate ) so would over fuel

Re: Will this '03 TF inlet mani fit my X Reg F?
At least you know that they work, the supplied ones may be faulty, one less thing to worry about if you encounter running issues.

Re: Rusty sill
Unfortunately a lot of the rustproofing processes during build were deleted to save money, you will find early example F's with less rust. Thank John Towers for that one.
