Mike - if you fancy coming by that would be fab :-) I should have some under-cover workspace squared away in the next day or so and clearly Daniel and I won't be going anywhere this week or next weekend... I guess my last entry probably gives you an idea of the parts I'm going to be looking for...
cubbie:
right, those pics...
first there is one of the 'little cap guys' I found in the well around the top of the rods, there was one that had shifted right across to the other side of the whole bay...
then a pic of the well where I found it...
cubbie:
and a couple more...
the first is the engine with the cover off... how pretty...
and the second is a better shot of one of the bent rods - impressive huh?!!
DogVanMan:
No sure how head gasket would bend pushrods mate..?
Still sounds like cam belt failure to me.. piston hits valve, forces transmit through rocker and bend the rod, no? I don't know if valves do hit pistons when a 300tdi loses belt drive but that would do it, I'm afraid..

Rasbo:
if its a cam failer, then when you turn over the key you should just hear the starter motor spinning, or turn the crank pully round and look if the push rods move up and down
