0137.F6 are the new parts. £4.17+VAT each. I got some about a year ago and they still work fine.

how are they different?

Well just by looking at them, the plastic on the old ones is white whereas the plastic on the new ones is black. Can't tell you more than that...

With regard to the four engine cover clips that push on the rubber and metal vibration absorbers, Dont waste your hard earned on these four pieces of garbage because to keep on replacing them will either drive you insane or Max out your credit card OR BOTH.
If you are intent on retaing your Engine Cover you would be far better off to make your own clips, all you need is a couple of pairs of pliers and some stainless steel wire and four washers. with the Engine cover in place. Place the washers over the four rubber and metal vibration absorbers, cut and bend four pieces of stainless steel wire so they fit tightlyt into the grooves on the protruding metal pins. That has cost you just a little time, and if you have to replace them the next time you take off the engine cover in didn't cost a fortune either. I agree this doesn't look pretty but who has ever seen a pretty Diesel Engine?
Alternatively you can go to Ebay and purchase the eight pieces for £17 :( and the first time you use the clips they break again or just vibrate to pieces and you lose them. :oops:

Yep, great Idea Cartoonhead.
It's crazy that such a simple thing cant be overcome when so many car manufactures use the same parts on so many models.
I'll see if I can come up with an innovative answer to the problem then present to "Dragons Den" for funding, lol

I just used some bolts and wingnuts on mine, with a rubber sheath around it for vibration damping.
