nothing mate, allthought u might find that for some you need to move the oil dipstick or filter if its aftermarket, but im pretty sure that its a direct swap

if you do need to move the oil filter u can get the screw from citroen to use a mk1 spin on type filter for less than a 5er i think then there will b a hole to block with a bit of tapered brass or something and job done

Yeh its fitting a mk1 aftermarket.

So i wll have to relocate the filter. How do you block the hole?

[l1ukeRS]

if you take your mk2 manifold off mate and then trial fit ur new mk1 up to the block and it touches the oil filter housing then yes but i think its more hit an miss as to whether it will actually touch it.

if it does then you will need to get the screw piece from citron than goes into the block and when you remove your mk2 oil filter and housing you will jus be left with a hole (oil pressure swith hole i think) but not sure that needs to be blocked off by something, tapped and threaded is an option but i have read somewhere a tapered peice of brass does the trick

i have never done the job but looked at it on mine when i was considering buying a cheap mk1 manifold and it doesnt seem hard at all are you good with spanners? bit of common sense is all thats needed really
