Can anyone let me know the difference between the MV6 engine and a 3,0L Elite? As I understand it is the Cams and I might have got one to go in my MV6? But need to know what I need to change.
Thanks

3.0 MV6 & 3.0 Elite are both exactly the same!  MV6 is stiffer in the suspension though.

As Andy says, the engines are the same

engines are the same mate.
mv6 is more sporty suspention setup and less toys too play with
elite is more softly sprung and has the toys

Engine wise, exactly the same. x-plod engines as the same as well, all they have is a bigger alternator.

As other have said, no difference between engines. There are rumours some ex-plod are chipped, but yet to see one myself (that hasn't been chipped privately)

Indeed, not chipped but, they have a different ratio diff which helps acceleration at the expense of top end speed.

Any figures on that - ratios, revs at speeds, etc?
There are hints in my car's history of it being ex-plod, but somehow, I'm not totally convinced.

If its a manual, then 3000rpm is 70mph in 5th, otherwise its more 2500rpm in 5th.

?, Mines about 2600rpm at 70, and thats an 3.0 MV6 manual estate, non plod, there are a few 2.6 MV6 around and Ive heard of a few 2.5 (so called Mv6's explod) but not many, maybe thats where you have heard about the Cam upgrade thing (ie, fitting 3.0 cams into a 2.5/6)?
