Hello againg to you all  ;D
                                     I live in Northampton and was wondering if any of you kind people out there close to Northampton had a cam locking tool for a 2.5 V6 vauxhall omega I could borrow for one day.

On listing, it says

ENGINE TIMING TOOLS SET FOR GENERAL MOTORS/SAAB V6 PETROL ENGINES 6 PIECES – (CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT LOCKING TOOLS SOLD SEPARATELY) INCLUDED IN THE SET: RH CAMS

Does this mean it's not complete?

Admitted, rather deceiving!  However, if the kit is as in the photo, thats the full kit!  The SP and the Sealey sets both say that there are seperate locks available for Fords n' stuff...  Maybe just NOT very clear diction, me thinks..

Nice one :y  You'll need a 30mm spanner too!  Doing my cambelt at the weekend, got sizes bigger and obviously smaller, but "Oh, Ballcocks!" NOT a bloody 30mm.... >:(  I'll have to get one too..  :(

Hi i brought a proper GM roller adjuster spaner from ebay for £14. But with me being disabled my wife does all of the work on the cars now, she has just finished the cam belt, it took her 2 1/2 hours. But she will not drive.
