Take up Robin Hood's offer for the cambelt DVD, only £3 IIRC, and worth every penny. Clear, concise, informative.

You will need a locking kit (some members loans theirs out, but someone already has mine) and a 30mm offset spanner. Other than that, standard workshop tools, including Torx, mainly E10,E12,E14 and E20 to turn crank.

Cambelt is a straight forward job and the DVD will help.

DO NOT be tempted to try without the use of a locking kit. Several of us have the kit available for free hire.

Job will take a few hours first time, but can be done in an hour with experince.

Don't be afraid to ask if you go wrong. We are here to help.

Post by: coffee on 11 September 2006, 14:05:05: Hi all,

Having been offered sound advice for getting the V6 and water pump DVD i duly bought it from Robin Hood. It arrived today I played it straight away I must say it is brilliant, straight forward to understand & I will certainly be doing my cambelt and with confidence. A must if you are unsure in tackling the job.

Well done to Robin Hood and his merry camara crew!

Post by: Robin Hood on 12 September 2006, 07:18:38: Wow, with that sort of praise you must be after something and I just did the video side. ;)

Glad to see you plan on doing the work yourself, any specific problems/questions then there are plenty of people here to help – get posting… :)
