Could you smell the bull shit as he spoke?

He was talking bollox, someone will be along shortly with the part number you can throw back at him. What a useless muppet of a dealer

The part numbers are in the guide..

So it is:

Part number list is:

•Rocker gaskets: 90511451, one set per bank (£25+ Vat retail)
•O-rings: 90411826, 8 per bank (13p+ VAT retail)
•Sealent, Black (not the Green stuff!): 90485251, 1 off

Gents - are these the same parts for a 2.6 as well? I need to pick them up tomorrow and similarly have been fed the same BS re needing to replace the whole covers.

Many thanks

Let us know what they say after you give them the codes  :y

yes tunnie went tothe main dealers armed with the numbers from marksDTM excellent guide gave him the numbers and of they came yes all without him looking up model approx 27 a side with seals and sealant black stuff 70 so thats seems ok but did not have in stock when i told him other lad said i needed covers as well he said thats how it comes of the computer to need covers as well he said weve never sold them as the covers plus seals he said fault on the parts list so must be someone lifting the leg so to speak

Buy yourself the TIS disks, parts and manual and then you can look the parts list up yourself. I only paid a few quid for mine of ebay. PM me and I can give you the details.

While it is unlikely that you will need the covers its possible that they will need to be replaced.

When mine was leaking it turned out that some twonk had previously replaced the gaskets then bolted the covers back down as tight as he could. When they came off they were a bit distorted and it wasnt possible to get a good seal so they had to be replaced - then correctly torqued down.

IIRC I paid £70 a side from the dealer on TC , the new covers came complete with O rings and gaskets already fitted.

But its most likely that this isnt the case so just get the genuine gaskets from the Vx Dealer.
