Sounds like a 3.0L, don't think the EWS started until '96 - but i could be wrong!

Jan '95 onwards.

Sounds like you could be lucky there - I only went for the 3.0ltr because I didnt want EWS, was a bit of a shock when it turned up.

Did you get all the engine loom, ECU and Vanos ECU with it? Should be easy enough to wire up if you got all the loom etc, and not having the EWS stuff to do as well is a bonus :thumb:

Have you got the ignition key? You can tell if it's got EWS by they key itself.

Post up a pic of it if possible. Great news for ease of installation if it is non EWS :thumb:
