Jeez, a professional garage and they can’t even be bothered to buy/use a dial gauge for TDC on cylinder no1. I wonder what other ‘short cuts’ they take?

I think you mean the solenoids Enzo....! Part number 22 It is your use of 'solenoid' and 'variator' that I was picking up upon...No worries..
My connector block is coated in oil on one side. If it can be fixed by part number 22 ( SOLENOID) then it is an easy job, indeed ! And to my mind, leaving a variator to rattle every time i turn the key, will lead to the need to replace that too in the future....So maybe it is worth the investment of some £300+ to replace the solenoid control valve....


yep solenoid not variator - doh! sorry about confusion- this is what i replaced to fix the rattle on startup

I also replaced the small gold/bronze colour oil filter that feeds the solenoid

Agreed, this is what we do. There is a multiple angle/rotation and check procedure which is different per engine type. Something I learnt is 4.7 F1 and Auto engines are timed on the chain completely differently.
Wonder why? same engine...
