1.9 21 diesel? Wasn't aware they existed.

if its the f8q then it will be a JB3 or a JC5

I was sure it was a 2l diesel and longitudally mounted

the 1.7's were transverse though.

as usal and for the billionth time you don;t need the engine out to take the box off a valve, done it on grahams cab with BOSCH ABS still fitted in the car at the beginning of the week.

it is easier with the engine out though.
