Incredible!!! A MASSIVE THANK YOU!!!!!
« on: 18 October 2008, 21:00:37 »

Hello all,

Way back in history I found this site after a botch didn't tighten my cambelt tensioner properly!  Avoiding main dealers with whom I lost faith a few years ago I couldn't find any garage interested in undertaking the repair job.  Following excellent guides in the technical area and with superb swift responses from many site members, I went for open heart surgery myself during evenings and week ends and... this evening I turned her over and was pleased to hear her start with very little problem; no eml.  

I can't express enough thanks to you all especially; JamesV6, Timbuk Andy B, Razzo, Sev, Marks DTM, Serek, and Chris Gixer.  I know I have missed people off this list but without trying to search for my many historical pleadings for help I can't find every body so if I have rudely missed you please accept my apologies and let me know.   Simply superb!  Thanks all!!! :y :y :y :y :y

Before I go:  I was putting the down-pipes back on with the car on one axle stand under the front right.  The L/H down pipe was about an inch off allignment (and I gave up after much poetry) I hope this will go on OK when I back her out of the garage tomorrow for more space.  ( I suppose it's going to rain.)  But yippee anyway!!!! :D ;D

Many thanks,

Martin ;D ;D ;D :y :y :y

Whilst trying to guide the front pipe on, push the centre silencer rearwards with your foot  :y

Well done Martin [smiley=thumbup.gif]. You can now sit back and relax with a tipple to celebrate having your car on the road again & not having lined the pockets of a local mechanic.  [smiley=thumbup.gif]  :y

Mark showed me that trick and i can say it works a treat, you might have to put a lot of pressure on it though :y
