3-4 mill past the mark for a new belt.

Cambelt change all done - managed it in just under 3½ hours this time (this is the fourth time I've done one) - so getting better.  Estate is now running better - cams 1 & 2 were slightly retarded - all 4 now spot on.

Another 15K and the saloon will need doing again, buts thats another time  :)
