And as usual to top off a fun day I took Danny out as my noise at 2k ish came back, wasn't the heatshield at all its the cambelt needed changed ASAP. I knew I needed to do it as I had no history but I really need to get it done now so hoping to get it done this week as I have brands hatch on the 4th of july and really can't have the car breaking before that or during lol

Good work there guys! Having half decent weather always makes a car day sooo much better!!

Hope you manage to change that belt asap , before any disaster happen!

nice work!

see - i told you there was a reason for the camber -

rear lights look better

Started to rain just as we finished everything. It was such perfect timing.

There is still more camber on the driver side than the passenger side though. But there is nothing obvious thats causing it. Maybe a more in depth look and some more meaurments and stuff taken we might figure out what it is and find a solution.

I have an orange caliper friend now too! I personally like it, but then I would

Apart from a few little problems (Chris!) it all went smoothly

_________________

come on - what did he do

and well maybe if he raised it a bit it would help?

Just a few Chris things

Main thing was a naffed up exhaust manifold stud/cylinder head thread by just whacking it in and not doing it up by hand a little first. But that'll get sorted at a later date. Oh and the torx head on the other end got a bit of rounding off because the socket wasn't on there properly lol.

Also, he done the manifold bolts up (this made me laugh) and I said 'are they tight?' 'yeah' he replied... so he put a spanner on them to check... they wasn't tight

I don't think we had any other problems apart from that. Everything else went smoothly... because I did it

_________________

at least he got stuck in

problems easy to solve?

Only because I made him lol

The thead problem is easy to solve, just needs re-tapping on the stud and in the head

whats the rust situation

Theres none of it! Don't know what everyone keeps talking about...

It's not too bad. Looks scabby. But that's the least of his worries at the moment imo!

_________________

yeah cambelt and headgasket urgent ftl!

Getting on the blower in the morning and hopefully will have it booked in somewhere for thursday. Worried everytime I start the engine now

The rust is fine on the arch still and the whole panel will be cut out so it wont matter too much.

The rust i'm concerned about is on the driver seat mounting point so need to investigate that a bit more.

_________________

mine had that - so the bloke had all for outer seat mounts cut out and welded

Yeah that's the main thing! We all learn from mistakes
