not "major service" ( timing belt for instance)

its time consuming

Could do a timing belt if you had parts and gave me notice..

Kinda doubt it mate.
A lot involved, and especially if you've never done one on an FTO before.

yup. have seen mechanic do it. Doesn't look easy. hence the price they charge
look for a thread here, i think bennoz or someone mentioned it and have picture posted up.

If you don't know how to do it then don't do it straight out.
One tooth out and it may not end well.

Not me personally. I know a mechanic

Hence the "if you give me notice"

Not so much the time factor, more the knowledge factor.

Could easily be done in a day.

But you do need to know what you're doing.

On that note, I dare say Xeno, you're better off with a knowledgeable mech.
There's a thread in the nsw section on trusted mechanics for these cars.

For time factor, I mean I'd need to time to organise a date for him to help

You responded same time as me, 'time response' was posted to Phil with his 'bonfire' remark, meaning a sleep over.

My 'bonfire' remark was for a major service as requested.

Especially if you are just learning with direction.
Oil, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs, timing belt + pulleys, accessories belts, coolant flush, brake fluid change, tapet adjustment, hand brake adjustment, tyre rotation, brakes checked, lights checked, minor fixes etc

I done my first timing chain replace at age 20 on a Ford V8, you have to start somewhere

In saying that if your not confident to give it a go then don't

This is actually a pretty good list of what should be done.
That reminds me, there are still things on this list that I need to do.

Oh and off topic, - I'm guessing that the timing belt should be done again at 200thou kms yeh?

Correct. The timing belt should be changed at 100,000km intervals.

Or 5 years (by some standards)
