A bit of a pain you couldn't get the bits for when we were initially going to do it really Paul, I've just had a look and my schedule is manic. I'm on nights until Wednesday morning, and wednesday I'm putting a Corsa engine back together. Thursday and Friday I'm in brackley helping Jaime with the Rover, and then Sat/Sun/Mon I'm on night shifts again, so getting down to bristol is looking like it's going to be about 10 days away!

If you're confident, maybe you should have a go yourself if you need the car for Monday, it's really an easy job to do! As others have said, 2 torx bolts up the side of the RH head, and it comes off. You may find it a bit fiddly around the air injection pipe, but it's do-able.

Post up if you get any probs, and if you're really stuck we'll still arrange a time to sort you out!

Cheers Smiley
James

As per your previous post, the temperature will have gone up, because the water pump was not turning when the belt was lost. How high did the temp guauge go?

PM me a phone number and address (incl postcode).

I'm away this weekend, but should be back in Bristol in the evening on Sunday and might be able to get over to help you out with this.
