hi
have tried everywhere including megabug(who were very helpfull and even tried to trace abroad) but no luck.
thought i had found some seconhand over the phone with a breaker of t25 's brighton way but even though i stated springloaded and the word telescopic they sent standard used parts!!!!! and have not refunded my money when i returned them!!!!!!
just kampers only list standard but i will try gsf again just in case they can source from another branch.
very nice offer by the way, glad to find the watercooled comunity is as friendly as the Aircooled one.

Sorry to be the bearer fof bad news - had a 1.9 with the same oil leak problem - could not find telescopic ones anywhere. JK and GSF list ehm, but whenyou phone they cannot supply them! My independent suppliers cannot source them either.
We changed the engine to a 2.1.... as we were advised that removing the necessary bits of engine could open a can of worms, and a 2.1 came along at the right price!
Good luck!

Emma - good 2.1 engines are as rare as rocking horse poo - so actually you've scored a coup there hon - getting telescopic push rod tubes would be more likely......

1.9 engines are less rare.....
