Lovely Job Pete,

Cam Belt, Water Pump, Aux Belt, Breathers Cleaned & Oil/filter Change.

Replacing the Vac pipe to the rams, chewed by rats has made a difference.

The old omega managed 36.8mpg over a 460 mile round trip.

Drove up with my fingers crossed cam belt last changed 5years and 70k ago, having said that it didn't look to bad, tensioners still seamed ok I wont leave it that long again.

Pete was great very entertaining and done a good job.

Me? A plazzy?  ;D

Liverpool would be ok if these out-of-town landlords didn't rip off the poor students. A bit of Welsh-type arson would be in order I think. ;D

Must be that new Shell "Fuel saver Fuel" I filled up with. Save 1 ltr in every 50ltrs?

Has always been good on a run and my granddad driving at 70 mph, its round town or in traffic that it goes down to the mid to low 20s.
