Yes, eight bolts, all in the same place, the coil pack cut outs allow easier plug access and allow any condensation to evaporate out as the engine warms up...

Gaskets fit as well.

Remember that the 3.0 was sold elsewhere as a Dbw engine... ::)

A 205/65/15 wheel and tyre will fit along with 3 235/45/17s but its just wrong. Personally I would rather fit the correct ones

I fully agree with the sentiment Pete, but the question was would they fit and the answer is yes ;)

Thing is though, having asked if they fit the op might not be too impressed when he tries to fit spark plug leads to his coil pack cam covers. He needs to be able to make an informed decision.

Which he now will be able to do. So we got there :y

The plug leads ought to be a secure fit on the plugs, the shape of the hole in the cam cover is largely irrelevant... and if their available locally (given OPs location)and cheaply they would be fine as a stop gap until the correct ones are fitted if it is felt they are required.

At the very least they will confirm that the old covers were indeed the cause of the oil leak ;)

Make sure you check / clear breathers regular if fitting them .

Not a hijack, just on the subject of breathers/camcover leaks: Every time I have checked my breathers they have always been immaculately clean. Does the fact that I always use premium unleaded have any bearing on this? :-\

I noticed it myself, only thing blocked was a small hole in the breather bridge on the plenum. Maybe it looks stupid but I tried blowing into those hoses installed  after cleaning and there was no blockage anywhere.

No. Just regular servicing with decent oil and not too many  short journeys from cold :y

Ah, well it is rarely used on short journeys, and has plenty of TLC. :y

Guys......it's a failed attempt again >:( >:(
Why the hell does hasket hold when I'm driving arround town and then fail when I go to motorway???? Is it a oil pressure problem there or what?!?
I just came from short 3 mile motorway drive, going 70mph and the engine is like a steam engine again....lifted the bonnet and horrid smell came out of clouds of both sides of the engine. Diffinately not a residue ffs... >:(  I guess I need to search for problem somewhere else, not gaskets, not covers.
