In at the deep end
« on: 16 July 2008, 22:13:17 »
Well after completing the cam cover gasket and associated pipe cleaning
I thought I would tackle the cam belt & water pump got the DVD  the other day parts and locking kit arrived today will go for it this weekend. Just one question how long should this take, do I tell her who must be obeyed I will be under the bonnet all weekend  ;) so she cannot go shopping or just one day ? And are there any problems I may come across that are not covered by the DVD.
Any advise would be appreciated.
