humm... well yesterday didn't go as planned, so we restart today, already gone out and retightened everything i loosened off yesterday. Stuck a freshly charged battery on there, and hopefully that will get me to northwich. So then i can go to town on it in a mates garage. I will get it sorted by this afternoon if it means me bleeding.

DJ Shadow needs to be seen.  8)

Don't you just hate it when, some monkey from a parts company sends you the wrong belt. Spent f**king ages on the bastard today, loosened off all the bloody pas/water pump/ crank side. Then fitted the pulley a couple of times, walloped it with a hammer to get the spring loaded tensioner arm loose, messed around with the bloody belt for AGES! multiple trips to halfords and the belt was too small.  :angry: :angry: Ended up going home early cos i was feeling rough as a dog, and have consequently been sh!tting meself inside out since about 3 (bet you all wanted to know)

Need to find a slightly longer belt now and then we will be away.

Oh and it made me bleed. Still, all good fun eh.
