Title: Cambelt Change
Post by: Kieran on 24 July 2008, 21:18:38

Today my friend and i successfully changed the cambelt and water pump on my car :). I am completely chuffed as all went well and the DVD was a great help.This was the first time i have ever tried to do this type of job mainly being limited to oil changes and the like.Thanks to Kevin for the use of his cambelt locking kit :y

The first time I did one I spent a week pooping myself everytime I gave it some beans.
