Title: I must be crazy!
Post by: Ian_D on 10 January 2009, 16:31:39

Just got back in from washing my Vectra (getting ready to sell it)

Its -3.0 outside, and the car kept freezing up as I was washing it!

Everyone down my street must think im mental!  :-X ;D

The road now has frozen bubbles on it too  :D

Oh and if that wasnt enough, I then decided to remove the cambelt covers and prod around in there, giving up when I snapped my 13mm spanner and could no longer feel my feet! :-/

I was going to do that, but there was a strange ticking noise which was comming from the cambelt area, so I wanted to check it out first...

I 'THINK' the belt is too tight as the tensioner pointer is too far the the left of the marker, but im no expert on cambelts, so not sure yet.  :-[
