Brilliant thank you Mark.

In your How2 did you replce the gaskets for the sump pipe and the throttle body or did you just clean them thouroughly?

I would replace them as they are very cheap.

Ok So parts I need to order then are: -

Cam Cover gasket  4pot DOHC
Throttle Body Gasket - Part Number 90543950
Breather Sump Gasket - Part Number 90500571

You need the sealant - I think the part number is in the guide for the V6 seals.
..and the orings for the bolt holes.
