    Hi Anji, after some weeks of searching I have, until today, 4 new screws . Nobody produce this special screws anymore.

    Сurrently out of stock ever..said Daihatsu. Even a lot of other motorparts... like in your link..

    So I search in moment by old Daihatsu stations, hope I find the last 6 I need..otherwise i must use the old ones.

    Parts are rare and nobody is willing repair an 0,7, or for a lot of money, you better buy a used porsche. thats easyer-

    [QUOTE="welz, post: 27823, member:
    I've just had the same go on my little copen , had it for 15 years 8 months and it's only now the head gasket had gone.
    I hope you manage to fix it. Mines going for parts as I'm not willing to go there trying to fix it myself ( female and all that ) ...I've been quoted £1'200 to do that's my first quote. As she's rusting on the arches and cills and other bit I think it's time to let her go. So she's still a running car but for sale as she is or parts ☹️
