Yeh the have said there is no part number for the petty only the diesel. I have had a look they look very similiar and I cant see a reason why they would be different. I just wanted to confirm as I have to the Sunny Coast to repair it.

I highly doubt there is a difference between the Petrol and the Deisel. There never has been in the previous models.

Thats True but that was different build dates and delivery locations(Aus-Japan). Not Petrol/Deisel. The complete unit is interchangable though.
