Cam belt change....
« on: 18 April 2008, 21:13:12 »
hi ya, i'm after some advice... I've got a 97 miggy elite with the 3.0 V6 lump, and  i bought it with little if any history!! :-X

Clearly it is in my best interest to have the Cam belt changed but this is quoted at around £350 at the local garage.  Does anyone know how difficult a job it is to do it myself? I'm not a complete numpty when it comes to mechanics, but i have never done one before!!

nor had i until a fortnight ago,i bought the dvd from oof and took my time (6/7 hours) found it reasonably easy.your biggest problem may be locating a cam locking/ setting kit.some members have them but normally loan them to members with over 500 posts....also gates cambelt kits are very good,i paid about 70 quid for mine  :y

Not rocket science, but don't attempt without the cam locking tool and seeing the video first.
