Think you'll find the 2.5 V6 rover 75 is a barsteward to do as it has 3 of the blightersdone few of them so far and must say replacing timing belts is not bad job at all , just get to them that's other story

Anything front wheel drive I'd guess. Especially shitron belingo (?) van. Zero access as the drivers wing is half an inch away from the puley and tensioner.
French shart!
They're doing it a lot around here, I went to a RTC a while ago a pretty serious one too. It happened about 23:30 hours, we rock up to see carnage everywhere. I just start to deal with it when all of a sudden guess what mid-night................... All the street lights go out!!! Now not only panic for the people involved in it, we can't see what we're doing or how to get the trapped persons out! A call to the council and 90 mins later some jobsworth turns up, oh I don't know about turning them on, it'll need an electrician
Sure people don't think things through.....& don't get me started on so called 'Smart Motorways'
Whats one of those then.
Oh they are coming to a motorway near you soon enough
They put new gantrys up with new LED powered signals that vary the speed limit when traffic is heavy i.e, reducing it to 50mph (AND having speed cameras to enforce said limit on the new gantry). They can also open the hard shoulder to 'ease congestion' Only they ain't thought about what happens if there's an almighty smash whilst 3 lanes & hard shoulder are in use!!! How are we supposed to get to it when the emergency lane is being used as a running lane???
Oh and as a bonus ! when traffic is light and there is no use for any of the gadgetery, the cameras are set at 70mph and will get you if you go above!!!

Thanks Jason.
Any thoughts on pricing for the 3.2 omega?
I guess the 2.6 would be similar cost wise...?
And for the older cable throttle cars there might be interest for the 2.5 and 3.0 as well generally speaking.
