Hi all...
I'm new here & in a lot of trouble I've broken "HER" beloved pug & promised to fix it.........
The question is can anybody tell me how to get the cam box cover off ? its a 306 2.0xsi with the early 8v XU series lump ?
After removing all the bolts, hoses etc I expected to be able to just lift it off but there is not enough room at the back for it to clear the servo! so at the moment i'm stuffed....
I Read through the manual & it suggested removing the lower left engine/gearbox mount so as to be able to move the lump to create enough space to be able to remove the servo unit.... am I to assume the same procedure is applied for the cam cover? if so thats what I will do but the logic seems daft & a lot of extra work.
Hopefully.....

CHEERS...
The bugger came off just as you explained
But now its all got a lot worse..........
Whilst tinkering I droped the oil & found it was quite milky (1st horror) so did a quick pressure test & it was S**t on 1 & 2 cyls (2nd horror).
I stripped the inlet manifold out & discovered the oil leak which I thought was coming from the cam box was in fact coming from the head gasket, (3rd horror)....
So I've deceided to strip it down & see what can be salvaged, repaired or replaced.
