Worbs - the cambelt is easy. I did mine last week, really not difficult as there are markers there for all the points.

The two on the left are fine - just need to remove the cover off the right hand cam and use an allen key and wratchet to use this to turn the cam to line the lines/arrows up.

Is woody around to assist?

Woody is in Canada for a month AFAIK so that's a bit of a bugger as he's quite handy with the spanners. Saying that Pike isn't half bad either

Gerry, i dont think the rads have to come out but it makes access alot easier if they do, mine are obviously out so have loads of space.

Ive always taken the Rad out Gerry. It's an easy job and makes access very much better.

Thanks Andy, I don't like the thought of diturbing the air con rad, but the cooling rad is quite straightforward.

PS see you tomorrow 8)

On the cambelt front, I have changed it with the rad in, just take off the fan coulings etc. No problems then :!:
