Yup. Doing mine with the NOOF lads on 31st  :y

Will be interested to see if they got it right 4 years ago when it was done by Vx.

incidentally even if it was set up perfectly could it fall out of alignment over time with the stretching of the belt?  :-\

I still have the cam lock from SWMBO's 16valve Astra G. Do I take it to Newent & hand it to Jamie for you? It's of no use to me now.  ;)

(assuming it fits your car  ;))
