From memory, there is only one size for the back as standard.

Thats a great find Steve - tdi's are quite rare now, and to find a 66k miler...!!!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that engine is based on a VAG group engine? So you'll have loads of options when it comes to service parts, and potentially tuning
