Mine wasn't too bad when I removed the scuttle cover and the cable tray, and pulled the wires out of the way.

Well, I rang a bloke up because I couldn't be bothered to be honest he said 20 quid, he comes out and says ah its a 3.0 not a 2.5 which I told him on the phone, then he stood there and said to me ah dont think it's the rocker covers mate, but i'll do them for 35 quid. I said you quoted me 20 on the phone earlier he said yeah buts it's a 3.0 not a 2.5 so that makes the difference and I ain't got the tools with me to do that.
So I said to him 2.5 and 3.0 cam covers are the same (hope they are) and another thing why the f*ck did you come out to me with no tools, ah well I got the tools for a 2.5. I said to him do us all a favour and p*ss off could've had these done but instead I've been waiting for you.
Anyway then rang couple of other people up all wanting 60-80 quid so done the drivers side (passenger side in engine bay) myself this afternoon, didn't have no black jollop well I did but it was rock solid sent the mrs. out I said make sure you get the black stuff, comes back with blue, bloke said only difference is the colour, so I said to her this ain't black o the bloke said that'll do, so blue ultra stong crap is on there now. Will do the other side tomorrow nothing happening at work anyway. Not a great day to be honest. Done the breathers though!!
What a day!

Typical Ashford attitude then! ::) ::) ::) ::) They will try anything here for a few quid, probably on the side whilst claiming benifits!! Came from Stanhope did he LSG? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
Whatever, he is a robbing bastard!! :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X
Yes I would have done it, no problem, for £80! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) ;)
Seriously, I would always help for free, but this week I am up to my eyes in exams!! :P :P :P

Erm....how does the drivers side magically turn into the passenger side in the engine bay? ;D ;D

Anyway, you should have got Fatman and Bobbin to do it before the went to Scotland. ;D
-
2.5 is exactly the same as a 3.0 only the plenum may be a little bit heavier lol
best doing it D-I-Y mate youll learn alot about where all the various sensors live yeah the right hand is a spot harder but still diyable
theres a rogue mechanic round here that uses similar excuses ive heard allsorts of horror stories about him

Would they have come down here??

Done it, and if it goes wrong again i'll burn the ba*tard.

nice one mate :y aslong as youve done the sealant right and cleaned the breathers it shouldnt return
on a side note i change my V6s oil around 4.5k i only use the VX 10w40 stuff and i went to clean my breathers the otherday a year and abit later and i was suprised to find the pipes clean as a whistle!

All breathers are clear, breather 2 is a bit stiff still though. Sealent everywhere lol, started it up quickly all fine will leave it overnight though. Right hand side in the engine bay what a pain in the watsit.

Ran it for a good 30 mins today outside the back gate, will it a good grannying up the motorway tomorrow or monday :D Seems ok will take a plug out on Monday after it's been used for a bit to make sure no oil is in there. The left gasket isn't really bothering me, its the right hand one that i'm worried about.
