Cambelt Change
« on: 24 July 2008, 21:18:38 »
Today my friend and i successfully changed the cambelt and water pump on my car :). I am completely chuffed as all went well and the DVD was a great help.This was the first time i have ever tried to do this type of job mainly being limited to oil changes and the like.Thanks to Kevin for the use of his cambelt locking kit :y
