Just do it your self. Learn by doing. Just make sure you lock the cams and mark everything up on the bottom end.

I do agree that it can be done urself. Changed a dizzy today without ever doing it before. Had a haynes, was easy to set up to tdc, and swap over. Soooo easy.

Sure that a cambelt on an 8v, would be not that hard. 16v and VR different story.

I wish i had a drive, so i could do jobs like cambelt and stuff, just does my bluddy head in when trying to work on the car parked on the side of the road (at my house) and the bluddy kidz come over and do everything to annoy me... or big vans come flying past to piss me off, making me have to move out the road. Cant wait to get me own pad....... for other reasons aswell :grin:

All this doing it yourself stuff I used to do when I was younger but I don't want to anymore.

Autobarn near Basingstoke in the end... including having a look at an electric window problem and checking for a leak, and receiving some great advice... (1/2 hour extra) £126 all in... I was happy with that.

Nice bloke
