Well, I did no that, not sure what its called really, its connected to the valves. Thought someone might be interested to see it though!

The complete unit is the rocker arms, the shaft possibly has another name not up on them really.

What issues do they cause? and how can I find out if mine has the uprated or not? Bit worried now with mine being an 03 plate.

As Harry says, the broken price is the rocker, the cam is underneath.
