Perhaps Robin Hood might support a bit of camera work again as he did a fantastic job on the V6 one.

Happy to help.   :)

General concensus is the V6 one is far better, but the one we have is 'OK' until we can get 3 things together to remake it:

1) Marks DTM
2) Robin Hood
3) 4 cylinder car

oh, and

4) a day when the planes aren't so bloody noisey ;D

Does it have to be mark? While he's clearly a good filmstar, If it means getting it done quicker, I'm sure there are hoardes of people on here who can change 2.0 cambelts :y

On the subject of the V6 Dvd - am I right in thinking is misses out one step at the end? Was it intentional?

Filling the car up with coolant afterwards?  ::)
I may well have missed out that step too  ;D

The DVD does show torquing of the pulleys. In fact, Mark double checks them

Edit - just checked - it shows refilling of the coolant too. After the engine is run up...  ;D

The concentric ones and the tensioner, yes it does - I think Robin hood was referring to the auxilliary pullies (which incidently, I never use a torque wrench on, just a sensible nip :y )

I've seen it and done the dirty deed.

Voted as good enough for now.

Was good enough for me to know I hadn't missed anything crucial, have the "book of lies " for the torque values and recheked the tensioner position 5 times to get it to be in the right position after rotation of the engine.

300 miles later I am happy that it is right.
