just realised, the engine number should be ej257 (for the 2.5ltr model). am after the schemutics and if possible for each part. have found one site but its a US site and it does not specify the engine number. 358 pages of every part of the engine but unfortunately its of no help as i dont know if its the right model - it doesnt say anywhere. (they have lots of other cars as well when i find the link again will post it up). dont have the opportunity to visit the local dealer as am overseas at the moment so am trying to get the theory worked out now so that i can do the practical once i get back
