To quote Noel Coward (Mr Bridger) from the Italian Job....


'I think we need to arrange.......a cambelt party'


Well OK, he didn't say the last bit.

Just asking out of interest really, following my recent scare!

Please note I'm not touting for business (I cannot take anymore on this year)...  But I'm interested in the results of this poll.

Obviously, it only applies to petrol models!

You did mine about 2000 miles ago so plenty left for me  :)

Mine was done about 20 months/20k ago by Mr DTM on that long, cold, winter's day.  And a bloody good larf it was to!

Mine is due in June by date rather than miles.

Are any of these cambelt parties in Spain?!

I haven't seen any mention of gearbox thrust washer changing parties......

There's not really enough space at our house but for a while I've had it in mind to see if there's interest in a gathering at my parents' house near Reading. For their own protection I'm going to arrange this when they are on holiday, and I believe they are going away early in the new year. I need to make some discrete enquiries to find out exactly when. Could be for cam belts, LPG, beer, all 3, bacon butties. Whatever there's demand for. There's dry garage space for 3 cars plus umpteen outside.

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

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

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.

... 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.

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