OK gonna finally do the cambelt tomorrow and I just wanna make sure I've not forgotten anything important.
Parts
1. cambelt kit
2. water pump with rubber o ring seal
3. Aux belt
4. 5 litres of VX red coolant
Tools
Selection of metric sockets, spanners etc including cranked ringer for adjusters
Torx bits
Star sockets
Star spanners
*Locking kit*
And of course portable DVD Player and the cambelt DVD.
Anything spring to mind that I've forgotten before I disable the car?
-
Can't say, Vx did mine, but all the best and good luck with your project! Looking forward to hearing from you on successful completion... :y
-
...I did watch the DVD however out of interest - you don't mention the locking tool, but surely you have one ready?
-
OOPS
Yup I forgot to mention that thanks for the reminder. :y

You forgot a pair of pliers to remove the damned spring hose clips!

Good luck Captain, you're a braver man than me :y

all seems to be here - good luck :y

This is a picture I collected from this forum (I think) some time ago, not sure who posted it but if anyone recognises their broom in the background then the credit is all yours!
You probably won't need this picture if you have the DVD, but here it is anyway:

The red and yellow lines refer to the tensioner adjustments.

OK the good news is its done ;D ;D. Went very well except for getting the wrong aux belt so the old one went back on. Cambelt kit changed, waterpump changed and aux tensioner regreased. Only real problem was one of the cable tray set screws wouldn't undo and snapped the nut out of the cam cover but apart from that a job well done. I must say the DVD was indispensable, we had it playing at the side of the job and like has been said before watch a bit then do a bit if youre not sure watch it again. Thanks to all involved in the making its an excellent guide. :y
-
Can't agree with you more, when I did mine I refered to it quite a few times. Absolutely invaluable :y
-
Yup its amazing I never thought a portable dvd player would be an essential tool for an engine repair. ;D
-
Good luck Captain, enjoy the experience ;)

Think I know where your coming from. Years ago I saw a Jag. V12 on display, it had been modded for powerboat racing with chrome drag pipes and everything polished. I soooo wanted to take it home and put it on the mantelpiece!!!
