I had the Cam belt change CD recently from the oof shop, i must say this is a brilliant CD, i followed it to the letter and it all want back together with no hiccups, started fist time and runs sweet, with a new water pump also.
I had the laptop charged, stuck it on the top of engine and followed the instructions to the letter.
All i had to purchase was the locking kit which cost £99.00 from fleebay, i then resold it on fleebay and got £115 for it on auction.
If any of you guys are thinking of doing a belt change but are not sure, go for it, it saved me a shed loads of cash, the only tool outlay was the cam locking kit but i made on that when resold.
Hats off to the guys who put this together. :y :y :y :y

Couldnt agree more.That little piece of plastic is priceless as far as Im concerned.Used it for guidance to change the belts on both my Omegas.Saved me a fortune and gives the piece of mind that the job was done properly,rather than "near enough is good enough" which is what you get from most garages, VX dealers included.

I seen this and when I get my cambelt come up I'm going to give it a bash.
What's the net outlay for doing it yourself?
£99 for DVD, Cambelt kit? Water pump?

I think the lock off kit is around 100 quid.
A new cam belt / tentioner and a water pump / gallon of red anti freeze cost iirc, about 140 quid :-\
I'm gonna see what the mot man says during March.
If the shed is not too bad, i'll stick a ticket on it and look into doing the cam belt and tentioner on mine this spring :y
Thats if this chuffin whine doesn't make the thing go bang first ::) ;D

Not tried to do the job myself but recon its not too bad if you follow the instruction to the letter :-\
I'll see how I feel in March but to be honest, if your not confident with a spanner. Pm one of the mechanics on here :y
