Hi Ian, in answer to your question

BHP = PS (÷ 1.014)
Therefore 200BHP ÷ 1.014 = 197.24 PS

Lbft = Nm (1 lbft = 1.355818 Nm)

Hope this helps mate

I'm here! Too late, Gary's answered your question for you already! LOL

I wonder why you thought I was the one to ask in the first place?

Actually, this is the wrong way round. 1 BHP=1.014 PS, so therefore it would be 200 BHP X 1.014 equalling 202.8 PS.

I'm surprised no-one noticed! (I'm looking at old threads for something to read!)

You're quite right there - didn't spot that. I just saw the conversion factor, hadn't noticed it was going the wrong way!
