Changed my first Cambelt
« on: 19 June 2008, 20:11:31 »
Big day for me today, managed to change my first ever drive belt.

Only took a minute or 2

Didnt use a locking kit or anything.







Come on, you didn't think it was gonna be a V6 did you!

You may remember the bad evening I had last Friday 13th, well thats the mower mended, only cost a couple of quid off ebay  ;D
