Click to expand... just had a look on mine now wet it looks to be bit lower than the one in the picture (diesel) looking at the front of the engine you have the exhaust manifold right under the left hand branch is quite a prominent block sticking out you can't get your head lower enough to read it. Might clean it up and check when the rain stops of cause if the barcode is still on the timing cover its also on there not as bad as I thought the number is on top of the block not the front this is the same as my 05 engine Attachments ring.jpg 124.8 KB · Views: 75 Last edited: Jul 18, 2020
