Were horses smaller then as I'm pretty sure the same lump in my XR4i was listed at 145bhp.

I was flicking through March 1986 Ford Cars brochure , sitting in the hot tub in the sunshine , like you do. ( unemployment is a terrible thing) When I was reminded of this question.
By March 86 the 4i was gone but the 4x4 still had the 2.8.
XR4x4 - 150 bhp
Capri 2.8 injection Special - 160bhp
Granada/ Scorpio 2.8i- 150 bhp

The reason? The Sierra and Granada used the new Electronic controlled Bosch L- Jetronic

The Capri still used the K-Jetronic as introduced in the Mark2 Granny in 1977. The 2.9 when it was introduced later that year was back to 160 bhp although that never made it to the Capri.

I seem to remember now that Cort16 on AS had issues from his early 2.8 Mk3 Granny having a very shortlived ( in production terms) injection system.

I'm pretty sure my XR4i had K-Jetronic, that was the one with the spring loaded flap in the metering unit that the incoming air lifted & controlled the fuelling wasn't it? I've still got the extra long allen key for setting the mixture too.

Unless I'd assumed it was the wrong type all those years ago & never found out different till now.

This was an unusual find whilst looking for a few facts. Sir Ernest Marples was in charge of closing the railways with his pal Richard Beeching. He asked John Cooper to build him a car that he could still carry his golf clubs in. It was a 1071cc Mini Cooper built at Longbridge Special Developments in 1964.

I'm pretty sure one or two of these pics are reposts but I'm too lazy to check.
