Coming to a cinema near you!
Well, a big thanks to Robin Hood who did a great job of filming and editing the DVD.
This is available from Robin Hood at a price of £3.00 delivered which I think is an absolute bargain, it stars my good self with guest appearances from Laidback66 and the voice of MrMcburger and runs through the full fitting and timing process.
Now with added bonus sequences:
- Water pump removal and replacement
- Idle roller re-greasing
I have moved a post to the maintenace guides area for future reference.
-
I followed the pre-edit version of the DVD and confirm that it is brilliant!
-
Ooookey so who do we send the money to then?
-
a bargain indeed - where do i sign up? :)
-
PM Robin Hood with your details.
As I said, I used the pre-edit, more info in the linked post.

Just recieved a copy of the DVD in this mornings post. Don't need to do a cam belt change just yet, thought it would be a useful piece of kit for the "Toolbox".
It's a brilliant DVD, would reccomend it to anyone who hasn't done a belt change, very easy to follow, £3!! when you can save hundreds of ££££, money well spent I say.
Well done all involved [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I have a copy here for you....will pop it in the post.

I to recieved my copy from Mr Robin Hood and confirm that it makes very interesting viewing, and completely dispells the fear of tackling this job. Top marks (pun there) to all who participated in this venture. Video could be the end of the haynes manual, as there is far more visual info on the video than in the book.
I will be takling my cambelt and water pump this weekend complete with laptop and video.
-
Excellent News this.
Robin Hood - PM (and pay pal payment) sent!
Looking forward to receiving it!

Robin Hood, send him the DVD. I will pay his £3 - it's worth just to see TheBoy stripped of his four stars! ;D

The Boy already had a copy for free so start stripping and the fact that it wasn't actually in your possesion is no excuse. :)
-
Just wish there was one for a 4 pot, need to do mine. :(
-
(Pssssttttt.....)
(anyone after a pirated copy, please send me £2.50 in cash)
(and keep it quiet)
;)

I did. Didn't work - played up to point of Mark getting the front air intake off, and locked up :'(
-
I kinda like my 5 stars. Feels like I've worked at McDonalds for a week... ;D

Although yours is a facelift and a 2.2, if you was to get a haynes following that is pretty helpful, although when you look at it, its kind of obvious what needs to be done.
Just follow the guide for doing a 2.0
Good Luck with it though.

If that was one with a printed face then PM me your address and Ill send a replacement. Shouldn't actually happen as I'm using G05 dye discs and burning at 2X - have you tried it in a different player.

I know, but would just like to see 'THE MASTER' at work.

Perhaps he could do it for you if you asked him, you never know.
May mean travelling up but atleast you will see 'The Master' in action.

Yeah, tried it in Pioneer DVD recorder, the MCE, my laptop and my PC. Locked up at same point everytime. Can't remember what disc it was.
I think Mark was knocking me off another copy :)

I have posted you the final version (printed) which Robin Hood brought round to me the other night, the one you had was a preliminary one.

Still happy to do it for you but, struggling to get the time at the moment.
I am away (Weymouth) next week and then on the Chezk Wrecks rally with Laidback66 after, can do it in mid September once I have got everything back to 'normal'

i have just recived my copy and exclent its is very informative and very helpful as mine needs doing ASAP as my millage is at 80k, although i still do not feel confident enough to do the job on my own especialy the timming part.
i would be very willing to pay mark or anyone of youselfs(raher than vx) to help change mine i colud do most of the spanereing(grovel grovel) :-[
-
Got mine too but at "real" work
Guess thats the champions league bumped tonight then ( it was only Hearts )
-
Had my cambelt doen by Vx last year, so no need to do it in the near future.
Ordered the DVD anyway, just because it's great fun to watch other people work, form the comfi of your sofa! ;D
-
Just ordered mine, looking forward to watching & seeing if it really does dispell my fears :-/
-
Got mine (thanks Robin Hood, did you get my payment?), very well done, both the actual work and the filming.
I did however, ahhmmm, spot a very very minor safety issue, not sure if it is even worth raising :-X because it will seem like nit-picking, especially since the most daring thing I ever did on my meega was to change the spark plugs (and even so I was too lazy to actually move the How2 from the 'other' site to here..), but I might just drop a confidential PM to the party invoved.... :-[
-
I did indeed get you payment, thankyou Markjay.
