How do i change Cam belt
« on: 25 April 2006, 19:42 »
Does any one know of a link or site where i can get a guide to changing the Cam / Timing belt.
Would it be of benefit to also change Alternator and Power steering belts at the same time as these look like they have to be removed  :rolleyes:

If it is a 90 mph per hour wind and you drive your car at 90mph downwind, if you stick your head outside would you feel the wind?

Convert the BMP (bitmap) into a JPEG (basically a file type that's good for photo type images) using you favourite image editing program.

Compress as much as you can without it looking blocky and crap. There will be a slider or something called "quality" or "compression".
