 thanks james
maybe a bit of bother as my right hand is still inserious pain, my little finger doesnt move without my other finger so will have to re strap them together, im hoping this is just the only leak.
i rang the last owner of my car and he said cambelt was changed at 41000, but i will renew anyway when i get some more money, m8s dad is a good mechanic so shall get him to do what im not confident in doing, but help so i can pick up a bit more knowledge. got a haynes manual coming in post from amazon for 7 quid. so will have a good read up when it comes

anyone looking for a manual try on here they have loads
