Whilst I understand your point Nick, the less fuss made, the more likely they are to keep screwing up... 

How hard is it to type a reg/chassis number into the factory parts system and produce a part number that might actually bolt straight on >:( or is it just me...

Yes it is  :D ;)
Only joking mate. You're quite right of course, and there is a certain amount of banging your head against the wall at the parts dept  :(

The "b" bolt is a problem , released power steering reservoir to help me get in a little better to just about get a torx socket on,it was quite tight! I left the thermo in situ and got grips on the transfer pipe to get it moving, then undid thermo bolts, eventually it came apart(i can see why the guy in the video is so elated on the guide ;D)   As you all know putting the b bolt back is a challenge but it went back after a few attempts :y Al you were right a new transfer pipe was needed thanks. Jonny/andy cheers for saving the day, the true SPIRIT of OOF came good again ,terrific site :y

Always  :y

Dealer here tends to get it right. I don't remember him ballsing up (same guy every time). However, ordering bits can be a bit of a pain. I remember needing the 2 o rings from breather bridge to throttle body and we were there a good 15 minutes going through pics of engine parts on his computer lol but got there in the end
