I thought I'd post an update to this. Piggy states that the rods are the same, and he's absolutely correct. The first couple of rods that came out of my DHX block had the markings on the side worn off so I didn't notice this at the time. However, I have since inspected the 2 other rods from this block, and they are marked as DW10. So the first 2 rods in the picture are in fact DW10 rods, not XUD.
This leads me to a strange conclusion. I appear to have an XUD block with DW10 rods already fitted. I thought I was going a mad, but I have 8 DW10 rods in my garage now, and I've certainly only ordered 4. I purchased the DHX block from a breakers, apparently from a '99 Citroen Synergie. Everything looked factory and there was no sign of anyone having fiddled with it. Has anyone heard of this happening before?
