    Mav/GU 4.5 petrol mods

    I have a Mav with a GU 4.5 petrol engine.
    So what mods do I need with this setup if any?

    So any pre/post inspection suggestions will help.

    At the moment I am just dealing with getting it past the roadworthy inspection.
    Got a few things to do anyway besides making it all shiny for the inspectors.


    Thanks

    Is it petrol only or dual fuel?

    First easy things to do: fresh oil and oil/fuel/air filters, clean MAF and throttle body, check for any vacuum leaks/split/perished hoses in engine bay, check ignition timing.

    A bit more involved: buy an ECUtalk, check fault codes, test and replace oxygen sensor, adjust tappets.

    Once you have done the above you should be in a pretty good position to get (relatively) good economy outta the ol' TB45.

    Thanks for the hints. It still has to go in for full checkup and have a few things fixed any way so I will add these to the list.
    What I would like is an original steering wheel boss and steering wheel. At present its got one of those sporty things.
