Are they the V6's bearings?

I suspect not, even though the one I sent them had the V6 bearings on.
Either that, or the ones I had before weren't V6 bearings!
Also, the VCU doesn't have the damper on it. Can't remember if the one I sent had it or not!

If you are referring to mine, it is fitted to a TD4 auto.

Nope, the OP pics. The raised bases of the bearings shout out V6 fitment to me. Would also explain why the bolts are too short now..

Sorry, I should point out that I have a V6.
These bearings have 20mm spacers built-in, which my originals didn't have.

When I bought a new set of bearings for my V6 I was sent a set with the rubber spacers which I knew weren't correct. I called up the suppliers who told me they were 100% correct. However after much digging around on the net it seems that my V6 had the ordinary style bearings which were particular for a certain period only. My V6 was a 2001 and it seems only a certain amount were fitted with ordinary type bearings.

Exactly, when I was looking for bearings recently, there were two types, one with raised mounting points which were for the V6 fitment.

I learn something every day on this site!
Anyways, longer bolts aren't hard to find as they are basically M8s.
I was at my mate's workshop at the time (my drive is gravelly mud) who had some 45mm M8s so I used those.
Car drove great today, 120+ miles on the M5.
Nice not to be wheelspinning out of my drive an'all!
