Takes me about 90mins to do cambelt and pump, without rushing.

But you've done loads. As with all things, you get quicker with experience, you don't have to think what to do next or how this does that or how that does this.
I'd suggest a morning or afternoon if you've never done one before.

takes longer without the tools...

Deffo worth getting the cambelt video 1st.

My mate has his own idea's about doing quad cam belts, then I showed him the DVD I bought from the shop,  he suddenly agreed his way was a nono, and said the DVD was excellent and pretty straight foreward.

Agree with Mr B, for once.

Realistically I would say 3 to 4 hours by the time you've checked and double checked, just take your time

I would like to see you do it in that time without rushing... In fact Newent is coming up perhaps you could show us

Rushing is watching Master do it (with pump) in under an hour .  I did one myself in under an hour a few weeks ago, but no pump on that one.  I've also spent 4hrs doing one that just wasn't playing.

If there is a brew and a bacon butty on hand, that adds 30mins



Now, v6 thermostats, they take me hours - I was in awe when I saw you do one, and hopefully I paid enough attention, as that 3.2 needs a new one

And to this day, I still haven't done a cambelt on my own Omegas

But if you change the Water Pump, you then need to put in the Coolant, then also run up the car to temperature getting the airlocks out  much longer than 90mins 

I will help you again mate when I see you that isn't a problem. Do you have the Thermostat & Transfer Pipe??

I need to buy another stat (gave away the one we fitted to Goldie).

Worth buying a transfer pipe, or reckon I can manage not to bugger it up
