Umm, the locking ring, right? Oops, there's RPOs:
As yours is a D8.5
DIESEL FUEL from RPO 07968 (Thu 3 Sep 1998) UNTIL RPO 08973 (Mon 4 Jun 2001) 153120

So mine wouldn't fit anyway :|

Should not take too long, Croatia is a small country.

Ordered lock ring/ o'ring from stealers, will collect later and hopefully sort the leakage.
Must take picture of bodging done there, it would make Jesus cry, even if it is a bit of carpentry after all. :roll: :oops:

I think it was the owner before the last, because the latest one found insurance too expensive for himself and never drove it!
I cant complain much, I did buy it for about £500.
