I could give G a lift with the springs and shocks if it will free you for other jobs Mark.

Can you do AA's cambelt?

Or at least strip down and re-assemble and I will do the belt fitting?

As long as he wears clean rubber gloves......

Like sucking a toffee with the wrapper still on.

As already said, happy to do pads/discs as well as learning more t2 as and when.

I can do the door lock solenoid on Bob's car and possibly drop the sump on Josh's if required.

Who's bringing tools etc? I'm a bit stuck for space for axle stands etc but Jane will be coming down either late friday or sat afternoon so can bring some axle stands / trolley jack etc.

[Marks DTM Calib]

We have a few jacks and axle stands coming plus loads of tools so should be ok for that.

I will be putting up a tool list tomorrow to.

Thanks for volunteering to do the jobs, I have modified my list 

[joshwyatt]

I'll do anything to help out, whether that be simple bits here and there, or passing tools around etc.
Unfortunately I don't really have many technical skills to offer. But I'll bring all the chemicals I use when cleaning the vehicle I have in stock, so if there are any scratches, or cleaning that's needed I'll happily do that. Even if it's leave your vehicle with me for 45 mins, and I'll tidy it up a bit.
Thanks Andy to offering to help with my sump removal, but it's not critical...I only wanted to do it to clean/check the oil pick up feed and give it a general going over...so if there's not time, that's not a problem.
My vehicle will be pretty empty so if anyone doesn't have enough space for tools, I can always pick them up.

[Marks DTM Calib]

I should add that to check the oil pickup, the sump drop should not take as long as I have stated.....its only the lower pan to remove

[VXL V6]

Presumably there's a gasket to replace on reassembly?

Will also need oil and oil filter (paper type I should imagine on a 2.6) as will be dropping the oil anyway!

PS. Josh there's some light scratches on the bonnet and boot of the DTi Elite if you want to have a go at them!!!

Almost ..... it's grey & comes in a tube 

[VXL V6]

Ah! Should be done in an INSTANT then!

That's something I'm not sure about Andy. I seem to recall reading recently that there is a gasket, but it doesn't need to be replaced, instead grey sealent is used to on re-fitting of the sump, and just grey sealant is used to fill the space.
Got plenty of oil, and oil filters.

And yep, we'll see what we can do with those scratches 

EDIT: Oops too slow, thanks Andy B for confirming. How much grey sealant do I need? One tube or more?

[Andy B]

....How much grey sealant do I need? One tube or more?

One tube would do a dozen sump pans, it comes in a tube like bathroom silcone sealent, but about 1/3 as big. I only used a small percentage of the tube when I refitted my sump pan, and threw the hardened remants away recently
