Title: Please can someone lend me...
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 27 January 2017, 10:16:16
A V6 locking kit?

I have had mine for ten years, and I now cannot find it anywhere. Last time I had it, was when working on the MV6 in the autumn. I have searched so hard for it, that I have nowhere else to look, and I will need it in the coming days to change the cambelt on my Elite, which is looking like the original from when it was new in 2003  :-X :-X

I cannot help but wonder if it has been nicked by an opportunist, as when I work on the drive I have a habit of leaving my tools out when I pop inside  :-[ - it's extremely doubtful where I live, but running out of other ideas.

Hopefully I am considered trustworthy enough on here  :-* but I will gladly pay deposit if required, tracked courier either way etc.

Thanks in advance  :y

I don't expect to use mine anytime soon so you're welcome to borrow it.


PM me, and we'll sort something out.

James, you don't need this extra stress; stop looking and assume that it has been nicked. Insurance claim?

No, I cant make a claim based on an assumption and my own potential negligence :y

plus they are not too expensive, and it paid for itself over and over :)

Bet you've left it in the Rubens Red 3.2 you sold recently . . . ::)

Possibly in the spare wheel holder ? ? ? 

Or . . .  are you sure you have not lent it to anyone   ???

Or . . .  not done a cambelt for Terbs recently ?   . .

Just trying to come up with possibles  James  . . .hope it turns up though :y

If you're planning on passing Brakkers, you're welcome to borrow mine...   ...but can't be without it for too long.

I haven't seen a V6 locking kit - but I haven't been looking for one. :-\

I will try and have a look in the morning, but I don't think there is a hidy-hole big enough for me not to have seen it if it was there :-\

I have found a brand new kit I bought, hiding in my garage :y

The only problem is, the water pump tool doesn't fit properly. Which is why it's sat on the garage.

But it's a start. All I need is a water pump tool, to lock the crank in the right place :y

It actually is in a red  sealey box. But yet, no doubt the contents are shite quality laser tools!! I bought it on ebay in around 2008 so who knows!

Just do it like Edd China. Set it, take the chain off, and make sure you don't touch it. What's to go wrong?  :)
