Come on then - when and where is the next one. We always seem to have something in this crap, cold weather... ;D
If there are plans - then I'm happy to attend and change as many cambelts as I can in the day. I don't charge at these events. *
* Although I Do expect people to pull me out of the gutter when I've had a skinful, and not take photo's of me in compromising situations ;D )

I'll come :y
Oh no, I dont need one for another 80000 miles. Never mind.

80k interval on mine.
It's 10k and 2 years overdue though - I won't be driving it far, until I can find the energy and thermals to roll up my sleves and changte it.. :y ;D

Not sure if I believe my manual:

100,000 miles!!!

Mine reckons 20k oil changes.
What crap, I will be changing it every 3k, like every car I've owned.
Although - it's a 10 40 spec, so chances are I'll use the VX magic stuff in it, on TC ;D

I might supply a car requiring them - but need cams too

That will require cam covers coming off too, along with the inlet, and a few other bits.
Achievable easily, but probably enough work for one day.
Are you sure fititng 3.0 cams is worthwhile to the 2.6?

Mrs TB and I were discussing it the other day...
Any volunteers for hosting it, ideally somewhere central, and somewhere dry!

Might wait and see how Mike Dundees goes but Geoff recommended them.
Also mine does go well for a 2.6, but would like to get 200bhp from it

I'm up for a trip down, but I guess most people would find the 3000 mile round trip a tad far...

My MV6 needs doing sooner rather than latter, if its deff Feb, I'll hang on, Im intrested. :y
-
I could do with doing mine along with the cam cover gaskets. Does it need to be inside? I might be able to sort somehwhere if it doesn't need to be covered :y

Having done 2006 and 2007 outside, last year's inside Timbuk's unit was a godsend :y

So where are we looking at having it then, as I could do with a cambelt change before I take the car to Germany

As I said the day after that was due to a "dodgy" pint of lager the 14th one I think ::)

Would there be a list of who's will be getting done or will it be first come first served
-

So what we need is a venue. Without a venue, its a non-starter :'(
-
depending on the date I might even put in a performance.....
....if you'll let the Pussy Cat come along ;D
Jim if you dont get it done there I can do it for you when you come over (as long as its before end march :y)

The MV6 is due a belt within the next 3 months so i would be interested in getting myn done at the party
will have a think as work might have the perfect venue will ask my boss when im back in next week
-
I'm up for providing assistance - having done my 2.6 I'm quite confident...
Would need access to a cam locking kit though as I hired mine. Got all the other tools though.
oh - and provided it isn't bleeding miles away!
-
Deffo interested....had my Omega for 3 months now and no record of recent cahnge :o (was hoping to get James down for service and cam change, but not heard from him recently.......)
Can provide no techincal skills whatsoever, but perhaps can supply beer and so on and attempt to gain knowledge ::)

if i can get to a cambelt party meet then i can bring my cam locking kit :y and offer assistance taking stuff off and putting bits on

If you guys get stuck for a location i can always ask if the works car park is ok to use.
Its not covered but it is private and fairly well sheltered....capacity wise would hold 100 plus and 50 would be comfortable.
Offers there if nothing else is available.
Location is on outskirts of Cambridge.
