God no i contemplated doing mine myself, read the service book and then promptly took my car straight to my local mechanic to have mine done. Far too fidly for my sausage fingers. I got the parts he took off returned in the boot of the car after inspecting them they probably didn't need changing but as i had no history from the previous owner other than the jap import papers / books and the fact it had been sat in his centrally heated garage for 7 years then i thought best to just change it.

Good stuff William, glad its all gone OK for you mate, one less of many more jobs on the list im sure, it just one shiney thing after another he he

In the interest of time, the Maccy D option would be quicker than littlechef but im easy, will just go with whats easiest for everyone

Your welcome William, hope the run out in the Z goes well and in as per forum rules don't forget some pics

How did you get on with the tensioners fella, are they ok

Ha ha, you right its a little thief, I got food poisoning at the one on the road to ulverston once, its shut down now, wonder why

Can you put the number on retention ??

Are we having Breakfast

Top job rich, I'm really looking forward to this run and a not so early start as well, top stuff

I agree with slick Pete its aweful

Hi Rich Mandy paying normal admission then sneaking on to the stand was what I was thinking, im sure the organisers would allow this, makes for a better show

Parts on their way buddy, pls check yr email

Your welcome, parts in post in the morning

I got offered a similar SWB Quattro in flint grey metallic for £4300 about 10 years ago, I thought it was overpriced then........OOOHHHHH how I wish I had bought it now

Just checked them, all three run silky smooth, no noises at all, ill see if I can special delivery them, if its more than £15 ill let you know. Fed Ex have an office in the village too so ill check them too, please include address details with paypal payment tho

Im pretty sure we could sneak you in

Hi roobarb just come anyway more the merrier I recon ??

Paypal £15 to iangreenfield@btinternet.com please buddy, you just posted at the right time I was gonna throw these in the bin this week !!!

If you take stuff for powder coating with threads you can ask them to put cork plugs in the holes to stop the powder getting in there in the first place, if they cant be bothered to do this for you id go elsewhere !!!

I have a full set and a water pump that came off mine a couple of weeks ago, they look to be in good order particularly the water pump its got no play at all and spins fine, however I changed them because I didn't have any history. My car has 54000 miles on it but I changed them just to be safe. You are welcome to them for the cost of the postage but inspect and lubricate the pulleys and make sure your happy with them before fitting.

Yes get all the stuff Sir Charles said plus I replaced the tensioner pulleys as well, also replaced the stubby pipes at the side of the thermostat housing, they will probably crumble when you take em out, replacement silicone ones are only £6

I have a better photo of the vulcan but I have to convert it off my slr so will post it later

I missed out on this as I left about 15 mins after you guys so you would have seen 3 Z's ahhh well

I got my last one from GSF car spares was about £20 cheaper than Halfords and 4 year warrenty instead of 2 !!!

Mine hisses too on a stock pump, I don't have any running issues or fuel leaks so just run it anyway
