hello there just wondering if any one could give me some pointers or trade secrets as im a bit slow under the bonnet regards rikki

[Darth Loo-knee]

If you ain't done one before mate and you haven't watched anyone either, I would suggest getting the V6 Cambelt DVD which I am sure is for sale in the OOF Shop..

[dbug]

As above and watch DVD a few times.  You need a locking kit + 30mm cranked spanner (buy off ebay, hire or loan) + selection of kit incl torx bits & sockets + allen keys.

As for being a bit slow - work faster

Good Luck

Being a 2.6/3.2 it may differ from the DVD a little as later set ups have just one adjustable roller and not the two seen on the older engine of the DVD.

 ..... cos they'll be clued up on your car ..... won't they?! :-/
When I first got my car I asked a couple of garages about misfires (crank sensor) As soon as they learned it was a V6, they diidn't want to know. 'Too complicated' one of 'em said! :-?

Not a difficult job if you've got the right gear and follow the "instructions" (ie DVD).  If you've done a cambelt on a 4 pot there's no reason you can't do a 6 pot.  Just need to work through it methodically.

Same here Andy the garage nearby says " 4x4 repairs done here "!!they worked on my 2.0ltr but when I got the v6 all they would do is the MOT wont touch it !
