I think I've put out my neighbour enough this year, plus they had their first baby last week.

Did we have a cambelt party nine months ago      

[shyboy]

I've voted re. my 2.6l (30k to go), but my 2.0l tourer est. is long overdue for everything. It's off the road for the moment, (still healthy), but I propose to get it straight in the New Year. Cambelt party
candidate!

Another 60000 or so

Another 60000 or so

Hmmm I remember Vaux said 80k for Omega cambelts once, then changed their minds.

Just done, 1 month ago

Another 60000 or so

Check it, double check it and tripple check it......Alfa have already halved the interval on the 4 pots from 72K to 36K and 3 years.....due to failures.

On the 4 pots its also the oil pressure basied variator that controls the valve timing that gets noisey and needs doing at the same time.

I would never leave any cambelt on any make of car that long.

As thought....

Service schedule says check/replace if necessary at 60,000km (30,000mls) and replace at a maximum of 120,000km or 3yrs.

So do double check it.

A quote from another site:

Although Alfa still recommend at 72K miles belt change for V6 (although I stand to be corrected) real life experience in UK would show that a 36K miles change is advisable. Too many belts an/or tensioners/pulleys have let go with expensive damage at less than 60K miles or 5 years.

I will check Although, it's of no importance, by the time this car has finished with me, i wont be able to afford a belt for me keks, never mind a cambelt.

I know you and Emma were discussing the possibility at the lakes.

... And my parents ended up going away the same time as we did.

It's not necessarily a requirement for them to be away, It's just that if they were in, nobody would get anything done for my Mum offering them cups of tea.

We always seem to do these in Feb, when its cold, wet, early nights etc. We must be more organised in the future.

On the other hand, it's a time of year when people aren't generally that busy...  :-/

I can't host any for a few months - I think I've put out my neighbour enough this year, plus they had their first baby last week.

Yep. Your neightbour has suffered enough
