Visited tom5190 in his unit again. I was due a second cambelt and waterpump change, annoyingly enough the cambelt, waterpump and bearings had loads of life back in them, however it would have to be done at some point in my ownership now i dont have to think about it again plus i got to fit the thermostat that has been kicking around for ages.
All my new parts from TPS

Jacked up, engine cover and washer bottle/expansion tank removed


Alt belt and bottom pulley off

Engine mount removed, however i have to horrid one piece cambelt cover so its an absolute pain to get the mount base out!!

We were stuck at this point over night just no room to get it out!

Next morning after using brute force it came out would love to know the proper way of doing it! belt and pump off

New belt and pump on

Genuine parts used, because the one i took out wasnt genuine i couldnt get my surcharge back!

With everything off we took the laternator off as its an ideal time to acess the thermostat, old one off


Pretty much back together


Checking bleeding went to plan

I think I'm just waking up in that photo mate, Sam drives like Seb Loeb when he's on the road but when he's on the ring he drives like the Pope. 10 minute wanker
