Took your advice - Thanks Elite Pete
« on: 07 December 2008, 12:37:22 »

Many thanks to all you advised me to get my cambelt done. (on another thread)

Elite Pete carried out the work yesterday with his able assistant Loo Knee. He also did the water pump, changed the oil and filter, antifreeze and auxiliary belt.

The job was done with great care and attention even though the temerature must have been around zero degrees.

I am now looking forward to the next 4 years of worry free miggy motoring.

Thanks Jim,
I was nice to meet you and see your loverly low milage Elite (got to be the lowest milage Omega on the forum).

The temperature was cold but it could have been worse if we didn't have the garage with heating, I think next time I will shut the roller shutters :)

Loo Knee did most of the work as I was talking to Jim (I normally shy ::)) and nipping back to my house for tools I had forgotten :-[
