| Item | Supplier | Part number | Notes |
| Bagheera 1.3 Engine | 3G4 1294cc (ohv) | ||
| Oil filter (Std) | Baldwin | B7292 | Same item as fitted to many Talbot models, 16 mm thread. Also Mann W712/11, Motaquip VFL111 or Champion H101. Halfords are possibly no longer stocking this filter, but a good motor factor should. Alternatively contact me as I normally have stock. |
| Wix | WL7101 | ||
| Motorcraft | EFL111 | ||
| Spark plugs | NGK | BP6ES | Various makes will work - but these are very good (either engine). Set gaps to 25 thou (0.6 mm) before fitting. |
| Coil (12v) | Lucas | DLB101 | Comes with various fittings, but this is the correct coil for none-electronic ignition systems. H.T. tower for push-in type leads. DLB105 is the uprated Sports coil version. |

| Intermotor | 11080 | ||
| Distributor cap | Talbot | 13667300 | For SEV-Marchal 56523600 distributor. |

| Air filter (except pre-75) | Fram | 3174B | Same item as fitted to many Talbot models. The K&N filter is a long life filter which just needs cleaning and oiling regularly. Also used on Rancho and Murena 2.2 models. 2020 update: The K&N is no longer available unfortunately. |
| Halfords | HAF 218 | ||
| K&N | E-9121 | ||
| Fuel filter | Talbot | VFF100 | Relatively conventional clear in-line filter. Many alternatives available I'm sure. |

| Valeo | 247059 | ||
| Temp. sender/sensor | Talbot | 0242.63 | M14 x 1.25, colour code Black. Alternative Intermotor 52220. This should be right for all this family of engines. |

| Lucas | KDB775 | ||
| Alternator | Valeo | 433404 | The small 35 Amp alternator with separate regulator on a Series I is no longer available. The 40 Amp alternator with integral voltage regulator is the replacement according to Valeo themselves. Lucas LRA196 is another. Even these may be hard to get, and they will be expensive (around £100 at the time this was written). |
| Valeo | 17839800 | ||
| Motorola | 9AL2540G | ||
| Starter Motor | Valeo | 432588 | Same as fitted to Horizon and Alpine/Solara with J2 engine. |

Make sure your thermostat is an 83 degree one for this last switch to work. |

| Alternator | Valeo | A13N46 | The 1442 uses the same alternator as the 1300 but you can see from these replacement 50 Amp alternators (also fitted on Rancho and 1.6 Murena) the price can be sky high! Since all these alternators are larger they may foul the fuel tank so please check carefully. |
