Hey Guys thanks for the input. Has helped me hugely. In the end I didnt go with either of the two I looked at on the Day. I managed to purchase an 11 reg White 3 Dr GTD. Because of it being an 11 it does indeed have the oil filler cap on the right hand side of the engine block, engine code CFGB. Am I right in assuming that this is the most recent CR 170 engine GTDs? As Ajmoir36 also points out I wonder what improvemets are in this engine over the CBAB and CBBB CR engines....? Id be interested to find out.

On a side note, what a car the GTD is. Havent stopped grinning since I picked it up a week again. Changed from an 05 reg GTI and in no way missing the power. Very pleased with my purchase.

I'd be interested to know if they have been playing with the manual gearbox over the engine.

Well over on a few German forums they're reckon VW has been messing with the car ecu/map. Now I havent a word of german so was relying on google translate so I may have misunderstood. I searched Mk6 GTD CFGB into google and ended up on these german forums. Some members agrued that the newer model (mine) wasnt as powerful as earlier models both on BHP and top speed side. They were of the opinion VW had changed certain things in the new model to make it more refined and quieter all round which has seen them de-tune the car slightly for emmisions and noise purposes.
Now Im not sure what they are basing this on and google translate didnt make it the easiest to read but just said id relay what I had found.

I'll try get a photo up soon Cliff
