Broken down....

[Phate]

Update:

Ankle is lots better, I can almost walk again and I can drive - Went to take the car to the yard today (cos when we left it on the driveway it was driving, just carefully) Got to the end of the road and the clutch just went...urgh. So with said bad ankle and sisters bf we pushed it back up the road and Dad with the car transporter is coming to get it tomorrow....thank gawd we've got all the bits!

However, I'm picking up a cambelt kit for it tomorrow as we are going to do that at the same time...cambelt, clutch, gearbox, driveshaft.....wow....now what are the chances of that going smoothly and done by Sunday?

How many black cats have you run over? Can't believe the luck you have had recently Jake. Hope all goes smoothly.

Cambelt kit? Is it yours to keep? Thinking I could do the cambelt on my two cars if I could get hold of the tools (but loathed to spend £500 on a set of tools I'll probably use once!)

The tool kit is about £180?

The kit is more than that as a whole, the actual 'kit' is not 100% complete and requires further pieces to be bought in order to do it properly and without bodging but a garage tooled up might be able to work around this. Someone on here works for Sealey, can't remember who and should know what part numbers they consist of. Not the first time it has come up.

Aye, just talking to Sam about this on msn. The workshop we have is fully tooled up and if we can work around it we will, if not we will get the proper timing kit.

Right...it's in the theatre

Work starts first thing tomorrow To get it there I used my breakdown cover (not sure why I didn't do that before!!!)

But yes, very excited now! hopefully my foot will be well enough to actually get down the pit and get stuck in as well.

[afcbadam]

all the best with the work buddy. hope you get it back on the road asap!

[Phate]
