Not me, mind's good for another 18months or 20k miles. Although it has started to leak oil, so I suspect the cam-cover gaskets are due.
I think I'd rather do the belt.

[amba]

My daily drive is good for atleast another 30k but the black 3.2 Elite on my driveway,if the history is anything to go by is weeeeeeeeeeell past its sell by date so its not moving off the driveway until its done.

All parts are here now so just finding the time to start pulling it to bits then I will be intouch NickW

Elite Estate due now, my 2.2 in about 7k

I still have the cam lock from SWMBO's 16valve Astra G. Do I take it to Newent & hand it to Jamie for you? It's of no use to me now. 

(assuming it fits your car  )

But it might be of use for my 2.2 if it comes back down this end

Mine's due in about 8k I think... Not been in the car since somewhere around the 10th and not sure when I'll next be in it

That said, I'm hoping to be able to start driving very short distances in the next week-10 days

[bored bigyin54]

i dont. mine was done last year thanks 

[omega3000]

Mine just been done , another 40k and ten years to go 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Mines a couple of thousand over mileage wise and a year over timewise, but as she's been mostly parked up this year that's OK by me!   It'll get done when I start using her regularly again, which hopefully will be within the next couple of months! 

[Gaffers]

You're not getting your hands dirty then ....... 

I shouldn't as it is the week before Wales, a race I have spent a year preparing for.  But I just know I will no doubt succumb and twirl spanners at some point

[aaronjb]

Think Aaronjb and Lazytinker do as well.

Yup, not there on mileage but am there on years at the turn of the year I think..

Thanks for offer Andy 

Think they are all the same 1.6/1.8/2.0/2.2 locks, fairly sure I still have mine in the garage.

Although I have a feeling i lent it to little fatty who took it to a meet of some kind, can't remember if i got it back.

Hope it was not in his garage!

If it was you may need Google Earth to find it

Given the heat of the fire, more like a microscope

Well I've changed a fair few cambelts for members, but in terms of my own workhorse...I needed a cambelt about 6 years or 40,000 miles ago 

Then again, it is a TDdI Fiesta... if I blow it up, that's an excuse to get an Omega...
