no its defo a V5, i would assume sometime in its life the tight **** owner has had a front end bump and replaced it with V4 parts, to be honest i dont mind to much as is mostly going to be used on the track

so if the headlamp washers to work they would have had to change the washer bottle, change the switchgear and wire everything up...

Interesting way to remove the engine/box! Always thought of giving it a go myself rather than the box from under the car/engine out the top.
Do you have to lift the shell very high to clear the top of the engine when it is on the floor, or do you have a car ramp?

lifted the car on a 2 poster ramp, undid everything drove forklift truck in under engine box and cradle, undid cradle bolts lower forks complete with engine, i kid you not we had the engine out and on the deck in under 1 hr but i think you would have to have a ramp to do it

also the v5 had the phase 2 engine,take a look at the top of the inlet manifold,if the coil pack is centre its a v4 if its offset to the right a bit as you look at the engine its a V5
