He is right though, don't know why but always think its a 180, even though his sig tells me what it actually is!



Not good on timing belt what a shitter ( think a replacment L series lump should be sought and get Mandy running round the far north again!

Well if people are willing to help me via the forum then I'm more than willing to perform open heart surgery on Mandy......but I'm a virgin when it comes to heads, timing belts etc so it might require a lot of help......sorry.

Now pouring over flea bay trying to find a pug partner being broken so I can get the ecus and key and be back on the road. Have found one in Newcastle that may be a winner and the guy wants peanuts for the bits so off on to peugeot service box to find out

If you were closer i would offer to help you inspect the damage etc and maybe fix it...

I know of one L series that snapped its timing belt, the owner then just fitted a new one and re-timed then all was good again (no bent valves etc) but he was damn lucky!

Instead of repairing it.I would say it would be easier to replace the engine a lot less hassle.

changing the engine will be a lot easier than repair.

engine is unbolt stuff and lift. lower new engine in and rebolt and connect.

repair is messing around with timing taking heads of maybe and generally about 1500 times more technical than a engine change
