Just saw this message. Didn't know that. What are the problems that the MPI have?

I think I remember reading somewhere that MPIs aren't easily converted? If that's true, not sure why as surely cash strapped Rover would have just lobbed a manifold to take injectors and swapping that out is all that's needed?

I never use it either. But it happened due to a pic I posted about five years ago that FB noticed the other month. I'm banned from going live too, not that I'd ever do so as I'm not Gordon the gopher.
Nazi memorabilia again? :roll:
I can't recall, but it was funny & we all know funny is illegal these days.
