21 have already gone out.  20 to our members and 1 elsewhere with a 2nd testing the water.  ;)

Looks like the locking kits are going to be in demand for a while.   ;D
Not for me I'm afraid, I watched it yesterday & it's waaaaaaaay out of my league.
When I open the bonnet I scratch my head & gulp  :o but it has given me confidence in some smaller jobs, might even attempt a plug change some time!
Coventry isn't that far from me. If you have a nice warm garage, I would happily assist you do your first cambelt. Allenm still has my locking kit, so can't do for a few weeks...
Cheers guys. I wouldn't say it's warm, there's no heat! But it is a double garage (1/2 full of crap at the moment, but can easily be moved) not a great deal of light & very limited tools. There's no great hurry.

 Did forget to mention Bo Bo, once ive finished Mr & Mrs Weirds, will be in Cov for about 3 weeks  ( House renovation in Scotts Lane ) if you fancy a beer some time

I have most of the required tools (missing an E20 socket for crank). Once I have the cam lock back, it a nice easy job.... ...I understand how scary it can be, but after seeing Marks_DTM and Ronnie McB do mine, its not bad at all...

Fortunately, the day Tunnie was here when things were going downhill, Sammy Sledge was nowhere to be found...   ...Larry Leadlamp stepped in to take over...
