When or if you decide to change the Cam timing belt, never assume you have been given the right timing belt. As I found out changing one on a freelander the other day. It took hours to fit the dam thing and lots of swearing until we found out it was the wrong one. Bollocks! Still happy though having changed a timing belt which I`ve never done before.

Fair play. I should have thought of that with my Brembos too! :lol:

always worth thinking twice and doing once. Should live by my thoughts. Runs sweet now though with a new head gasket and timing belt. I`d recommend to anyone to give big jobs like that a go, if you have a serviing manual about. Garage quoted my mate

he he, I was refering to the lad who owned the car, he works with Electronics so hardly could be called a technician, more like Edward Scissor hands.
