Is that the change over year for ME7? If it is then it's just as easy as finding out if yours has a cable throttle or flyby wire throttle..

ok well im gonna say cable as i can see the cable near the vac tree thingy just above it

if you've got the original grill then ME7 cars have got a blue badge, also ME7 hasn't got HT leads/dizzy as they use coil packs

That sounds about right, just for clarification..

Another easy to see difference is the distributor cap on a pre ME7 engine as the ME7 hasn't got one ;) that said the dissy cap in this shot is missing the usual black covering cap but it's still easy to tell if it has one or not.
