Updated original post,

Fixed the shifter shroud today, replaced broken passenger side tail light - then heard a squeak from the engine bay yesterday, popped the bonnet today and the aircon belt has jumped 2 teeth and shredded so that's just become the most urgent thing at the mo...

Fix one thing and another problem comes along...

Haha FTOLYF!

Yeah its not a big deal... just cracked a little just to annoy me.

Installed new cam belt and water pump with Daniel and fraz's help over the weekend +2... took about 15 hours total including 3 goes with the cam belt to work out I had it right the first time... pics to come when I get a computer (laptop hdd died). Quite satisfied I did 95% of it myself considering I had f**k all knowledge.

Yeah I'm sure I could do it all in my sleep now... Def know I could do it in under 5 hours now including the water pump, it's not actually that hard if you know which order to take stuff off

Sahin is keen to tackle my timing belt and tensioners now to get rid of that horrible sound. Sahin is a true legend, cheers mate.

I could definitely do it under 5 hours with cam lockers, and matt your water pump will last to your next timing belt after this one because it's about 20k kms old and they usually outlast the belt by about 40k
