So if your using the same dif/wheelsize, your fine.

Its the speedometer that is different, having a K number. (For the W201 1.8 there 7 different odo meters (not counting the miles version))

Well we'll see.

I'll look into that - German SPOB seem to suggest that the speedometers are all the same for petrol engined cars - I need to grab some part numbers to be sure I guess.
