Not a bad wee job for a Saturday, fixing some wiring (just the chassis plugs and nothing else, as the loom was already fitted) on this 16v swapped S1 106. I'm not sure what the story was, so I investigated it as if it was a blank canvas. Thankfully it's a 106 S1 interior loom and a 106 GTi single plug loom so no change was required to the pinout on the chassis plug at all for the important stuff to work. One additional wire was added and 2 new battery terminals (Halfords ones supplied by customer which I had never used before but was surprised by them), turned key with a spray of fuel down the intake and it started up no problem.
I did break the fuel pump pipe, they're unbelievably brittle but I have supplied an S1 pump which I have spare and will be posted shortly along with some fuel lines. So hopefully once that's in, it will stay running.
No need to point out the upper rad hose, I can see it.
Next job on the list later this week is to help a local Citroen AX GTi with a 16v swap in a similar situation 🤷♂️😆
