Thanks Jim, I've sent the address.
I do need the elbow as well please.

I'm pleased you said that it will be straightforward when I see it, I assumed so but was a little apprehensive.
The cambelt change and minor cam adjustment does actually look prity straightforward.

Scrapper has gone....ramps are now clear. All cars here can now move under their own power so we have the ramps and workshops available to use.

I'll never make it Alasdair, I can only have Sundays off until December. Everyone's gone on holidays again so I'm up to my neck in it.

What is wrong with Sundays ?.....easy to do one in a day with both of us and me having done mine under Jim's guidance the day before..........

Do you think so?
It's not just the belt, mines leaking from everywhere possible.
I'll come up on a Saturday evening if it's realistic.
If I don't make it back for Monday morning I'll be in deep stuff.

I can do the 7-8 or 21-22 October... Nothing earlier sadly due to running and cycling events...

Advise ASAP so that I can make arrangements ;)

I'll be out soon until gone 8 this evening for a 10K social run with my running club so I will be unreachable for a while - unless you can run as fast as me ;)

James....no reason why we cannot strip it at night in the workshop and do the belts in the morning.

I like your thinking.
I'm also wondering if I work a couple of Sundays will they let me take Friday Saturday or Saturday Monday off.
Boss and spare boss are both in Spain right now, will ask upon their return.

That sounds like an excellent pan James...

Only thing it has to be the dates advised earlier as all others for me are immutable as I have events that cannot be changed...

The 7&8 and 21&22 dates are equally good for me...

I'll hold off posting the parcel now ;)

either are OK with me....as said, if we only do James' car that is not a problem because I will have the whole winter to do mine so no rush for me....(off road at the end of this month)

Can we go 7th and 8th then please? Getting on the road a little sooner would be really good.
