I'd be interested in making up the numbers. I need mine doing, but have no experience.

I have tools, lights and a very willing pair of hands though; I need the moral support of an seasoned expert for my 1st attempt.

You could be the experienced V6 cambelt man we're looking for Albitz.  ;) ;)

Would you possibly be willing to come along for the day and guide myself and who ever else is interested.  No real rush but Date can arranged to suit everyone involved I should think. :y :y :y

  PS.  I'll even let you have a go on my "Burns Marvin" afterwards ; as your an old guitar plucker  ;D ;D

Might just come too, haven't been to Saffend for years and it's only about an hours drive. I'm no good as a mechanic but a dab hand at making tea and BBQ-ing. ;)

If the mig is running and I can make it, I might consider it

I can do cambelts with eyes shut and have all the gear but there's only so many I can do in a day  ;D  ::)

Thanks for response guys. I would be looking at around the middle to end of June time if this comes off.

Don't think I will do it unless we can get someone along with the experience of having done several  V6 cambelts to advise and watch we don't do it incorrectly. Also to put things right if we do ;D ;D

I'll be in touch soon

Regards, Big Al :y :y :y
