when the cam is over the shim what should the gap be? almost touching? or NOgap? DO I just prise them out of the follower.
As for the fuel filter housingI only have to press the plunger a few times before it is hard, but I might just change it anyway, cant hurt eh?. I will have a look for burst pipes on the turbo. Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

Your best bet is to invest in a haynes manual, got all the spec you need in it, the std manual does not cover the diesel engines, 1.6 and 1.8, these are covered in book no 1172.
There is a specific gap, inlet = 0.30mm to 0.40mm, exhaust = 0.45mm to 0.55mm both of these are cold settings.
This is assuming it is the engine I'm talking about fitted up to P reg
