Problem i've got is placing the belt on , If i remove the tools they completely spring out of the timing marks.... How do i now put the belt on in the correct timings?

Looking at the locking tools you're using I think some extra pairs of hands are going to be needed.

Changed all the belts tonight with the help of a friend.

Theres around 1-2 mm difference on the line marks of the left hand rear cams , Should this cause any issues?

Also got some goodies arrive in the post:

Right hand drive shaft
New CV joints
CV boots ( Going to change all seems there out )
Radiator - This arrived in poor condition - Ebay seller stated " Good condition" If they noticed various small holes where it looks like a screwdrivers been ran down it

Sorry for the lack of pictures , I do all the work and then realize i didnt take any pictures haha

Needed now:

Gearbox
Lower engine mount and few other bits and bobs

Thanks!

The 1-2mm won't make any difference, I doubt many of them were exactly aligned at original build.

Ah good - Minds at piece now.

Called the scrap yard i purchased the rad from and they simply said send it back... its going to cost me nearly £50 to send it back to them... I feel it was " Send the nackard rad to the guy in Spain , he can't do anything )

£40 down the drain !

http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-PCC001610SLP - Would this fit the 2.5 as it only states for the 2.0

Unfortunately that rad is not suitable for the 2.5 v6.

Yea ,

Got it from these guys... couldn't find it anywhere else. Condition of the rad is shocking for them to say " Good condition".

I'm handy with a solder iron , if i was to solder over the holes , should be fine ?
