Never come across that before - thought fag lighters were all a standard size :confused: my 200 tdi is a standard size !! I suggest you fit a new one !

the shell makes a good rain hat too - on a more serious note i have no idea ! - after some waterproof covers for me 200 tdi as im fed up with havin a wet arse but cant seem to find any at a reasonable price

good afternoon - checked timing - all seems fine - tried strait push rod where the bent one come from & its rising & lowering like it should - awaiting p/rod & gasket to arrive then we,l give him a whirl & see what happens - wheres me bloody bits lol ???

love going away for a bit then returning for a look :D - gonna try removing the fuel pump hatch & checking its in time - cheers for that battenburg but convinced if any of the valves were bent i would of known when i removed the rockers (they all sprang to the closed position) if any were bent...
