I need to do the loctite fix on my woodruff key
Car has been running rough for ages and I think this is why. I noticed a little bit of wobble on the lower pulley today and the car has been backfiring recently.
I’ve priced up the bits and with a new water pump (might as well while I’m in) and it comes out as just under £100
I need some help from someone who can help with the cam belt change and timing etc.
I’m planning on doing the work in my garage over the Easter holidays and will supply the tea, biscuits and grub to anyone who wants to come along.
Please help [::(]
If there is anyone in your neck of the woods who can help you, how about doing a write up with pictures of what you did.
A couple of lads from mx5nutz and matchstickman from here are going to come and help me.
I am planning to ask someone (probably blackeunos) to take loads of photographs.
I’m sure you want to come along too
I’m doing the work on the Tuesday - Thursday after the bank holiday Monday.
halli. if you are doing the cam belt change this simple tool may help you to get that big nut off.
Cheers, I had arranged to get some sheet metal to construct such a tool, but Si said he has one made up that he is going to bring along.
I reckon you need a Northumberland run during that week so you can have a nosey (and bring that beautiful slam panel for me )
How many miles is it up North from me down South? Has the snow gone yet? [:D][;)]
86.2 miles or 1 hour 49 mins according to google maps (not my exact address though)
I’ve had the roof down on the car most days this year. Lovely and warm the past week, though we have had snow the past few Aprils up here.
If you look in The Garage, you will find a complete Write up on your problem and the fix. It may be worth your while.
Yup
It is more moral help and the wisdom of someone who has done a cambelt before that I require.
I’m also doing all of the gaskets from the head gasket up and I’m lapping/grinding the valves too. Not to mention painting the cam cover and other bits while they are out (I’m going for a very marmite colour scheme )
Should be a busy holiday for me and a few mates
