Would like to say a massive thanks to Mark DTM for coming round mine last night and replacing my cambelt. It took him no time at all and i was well impressed with his knowledge and skills and more than that he is a really top bloke.
Would also like to say a late thankyou to chrisdb for coming down and helping/doing my cam cover gaskets. Another really good guy.
And a thankyou to Robin Hood who kindly got the parts i needed using his Trade card.
The help i have had as been unbelievable and i have to say this forum is a great place to be a member of. Without OmegaOwners.com i would be stuffed.
thanks again to everyone involved in my troubles and thanks to the site and all of the great members
cheers
Steve

Can't argue with that, the help given is amazing!

Glad you got it all sorted out mate. :y

Your welcome.
A very close call given the state of the tensioner!
And I nearly broke my record for a V6 cambelt change without realy breaking a sweat ;D
Clearly it was the original cambelt and tensioner setup..........which was 30K miles and 6 years overdue a change! :o

1.5 hours with a water pump change.....outside under torch light ;D
The thing that helped is that it was as original factory fit so no muppet complications from a previous change to hinder the progress plus its a 2.5 with no extended plenum setup.

Not bad I suppose! ;D ;D ;D I've still got all the plenum of the car after the 'expert' a/c fitter removed it all. I've been trying to get my 4r$e into gear to put it back on since I got up this morning. There's always tomorrow! ::) It'll have to be, otherwise I'm going to Guy's in an Astra ;D :y

all i know is he was bloody quick and the car has never been better 8-)

So how long do you think it would be to change the crankshaft seal and timing belt :y
