No worries Josh, I want to look at your MV6 this week 

The 406? I have finally done one job on it:

 - An oil and filter change - which took all of half hour.

Still need to do cambelt kit, water pump, aux belt, wishbones, rear wheel bearing, brake service all round.... 

[JamesV6CDX]

172,000 miles, no cambelt history, and the oil change prior to mine, was over 20k ago..

Asking for trouble 

[joshwyatt]

Thanks James, whatever time is best for you will be fine with me 
  what do they say about builders having houses that are falling down, and car mechanics with dodgy cars? When you do it for a living or part time you never want to do your own.
When I saw the 406, the N/S looked tidy 
Forget about the engine, you don't need one...just take it everywhere on the back of a truck

That all sounds very sensible James and I am very pleased for you that your career is going in the right direction! 8-) 8-)

You have discovered what most of us do with age; you cannot burn the candle both ends as you do in your teens / early twenties, and also you have greater family responsibilities.  You have made a wise decision if I may say so

One day I will ask you down though to do the infamous, never happening change of a cam belt with me!!!

All the very best James

Is it anywhere near Due?

We were down to the last 8K miles on the CDX, but then it was written off!   My latest Elite has another 20K or two years to go at least, but I may very well do it next year James come what may!

Good luck James..

James, best of luck for the future, and thanks for the work you've done on my car, and your advice on several matters 
I have to say, I could never work out when you found time to sleep, as you always seem to be running about 
Hope everything works out for you 

[Entwood]

Good luck mate .. don't be a stranger ... 

[charlie]

A well earned one aswell,James.THe bit that surpises me is you work aswell,where have you found the time to do both

[JamesV6CDX]

Thanks Gents..

Just to clarify - I won't be a stranger on the forum so much, it's the mobile mechanics I will be really cutting down...

Hope the career change works out James. You'll be around here enough but I'll certainly stop recommending you for routine stuff
