the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

oh didn't know there was one!, i had a pointy thing sticking out from the block which lined up to the pulley which was a right pita as when i released the tension on the old belt it must have moved the crank about a quarter of a turn so the first start up i had a little spanner on and no power! (me thinks i got away with something!) so took out the no.1 plug found top dead centre and voila the pulley lined up on the mark but i have a feeling i may still be a tooth out (advanced on the crank) but it's got dark now and she seems to run as before  but will re-check it at the next available moment, interestin waterpump setup never seen that before with just the edges of the washers holding it in, a question are cam belts always a pita to get back onto the splines because this one fought me to the point i thought i had the wrong belt! i even took the waterpump out again to make sure it was correctly aligned (as far as i could tell it was!) but there seems to be a fair old amount of tension before the tensioner tensions it!!!, anyway job done i think and if it doesn't blow up in the next couple of weeks i will have saved myself €300 (or cost myself €1000!) so fingers crossed, thanks for the quick rply by the way it's much appreciated, love this site!,Rich.
