its off now too late Very Happy

i have levered the cambelt out with a screw driver.

did not do a fecking sequence ,tuff innit ????

i got some pictures of the job as well for laters,

also got all the cables out for spares ,apart from the accel cable they all look like the same as 16v ones . nice Smile

got the power steering pump out as well after finding out it is a fortune from eurocarparts, fecky Shocked

now next is the gearbox ,i was gonna leave the bottom end and get the sensors off it but after my neighbour seeing the pistons and all and telling me that the engine is mint i am thinking of getting the bottom end as well now ,bollocks Mad
