UncleF, a member here has produced a cambelt change DVD, not sure on postage to Cyprus, but its worth its weight in gold.

Don't attempt without locking/timing kit.

Planning to strip the car down tomorrow so that it is all ready for Saturday assuming all is still go.

Mark, can you let me know what bits you have got and are bringing and PM me a cost for it all so I can get the cash ready.

Now just need to know who is coming along so I can sort out getting the refreshments,  was thinking Bacon butties first thing, then a big pan of Chilli, chicken drumsticks etc for lunch and as much tea/coffee as can be drunk,  let me know if that don't appeal (no problem changing the menu ;) ).

Oh yeah, is carb cleaner called that? or does it have a trade name,  can't seem to find it on any websites, I guess Motorserv will have it, just need to know what it is called  :-[

Motorserv will sell - should be around £2 - £2.50 for large aerosol. Beware, Halfruads want an Ayrton a pop  >:(

Get 2 or 3 cans.

I'll certainly be there, may have to leave before all done, as gotta tow caravan to Santa Pod  >:(

Anything you need me to bring?

What time is the kick off?

Will be bringing most of my tools, (and a big hammer), just in case the professionals forget a screwdriver of something  :)

I Started stripping down the cambelt yesterday in between the downpours!

When I did the blow/suck test of the metal air pipe, I received a lungfull of sooty air  :(

I guess this means that the non return valve is gone.  

Is this repairable or do I need to be getting a replacement?
