Ok I checked it at lunch time and I do have the older engine with the eight bolts around the edge holding down the rocker cover.

Thanks for your help, I'll look in my haynes manual this evening and get it done if I have time!

Thanks again everyone, I'll keep you posted )

Wow thanks for the quick replies guys!

I'll have a look at my engine when I'm on my lunch break but I think it might be the newer one... but since they are so similar I don't know :p

Is it watercooled or aircooled?

I have another problem aswell actually.

Every morning when I go out, I start up ...

I have a 1986 MKII Polo.

When I drive it it makes a sort of rattling noise, I have been told that it is probably the tappits.
Unfortunately I don't know an awful lot about cars or what tappits are.

Anyone know what its likely to be?
What does it involve doing if it is the tappits?
