After everyone seen this, might not be a bad idea to edit the post and remove the scans - perhaps replace it with 'PM me for details...'  ;)

Yours is a 4-pot, so YES, without fail.. :)

For what it costs, not worth having the pump fall to bits/seize up and snap your nice new timing belt kit is it? (along with the valves......) ;)

Peter Simpson is the editor of Car Mechanics Magazine, and if you bought the latest copy you'll know that he just had a bay daughter born...

Typical Car Mechanics cock up on the how to change cambelt.....

Thats what puts me off this magazine.....they have some good articles but, rarely get them right.....bad editing!

And does anybody think that V6 picture looks familiar?

Yes, he is on ebay under peterincambs - I quite often take a look at what he is selling.

As said above he is currently the editor of Car Mechanics Magazine, which I always find to be an excellent read.  I currently subcribe and have every issue since I started playing about with cars in 1992.

Prior to this, he was the editor of Practical Classics magazine.  When he left, it went down hill rapidly....................

I always thought it degraded a bit when Will Holman left. Still a good read though. PPC's the mutt's nuts tho'!!  8-)
