I've got that issue (but not the previous one), and I made a point of
reading that article first. I was expecting something along the lines of
some Lucas-based unit (supposedly good).
What the writer had done was patch together the Bosch injection system
from a Renault Fuego (port injection) with the throttle body from a Ford
Escort. While it is reported to work well, it's a cross-bred morphodite
of an assembly. The choice of parts makes replacement cheap, but you
gotta do your own work (no big deal to us) with your own hi-tech tools.
Personally, I believe in carburettors. They may not be 100% reliable, but
you can tinker with 'em on the side of the road, a million miles from the
nearest garage.
