    So yes, currently its under the big blue shed as I cant fit the girl in my carport. I have managed to get permission from work to throw it on the hoist, but it means I need to prepare as much as I can before hand so it spends the minimum taking up space, and Il need to take leave to get it sorted.

    Long story short - I did the timing belts at the beginning of the year, but I did it at work during work time with the trainees - essentially got paid to fix my own car - but too many cooks got involved and I lost control of the job. The timing belt tensioner bolt was done up, then removed and done up again; then some two months later while decending the South Eastern Freeway into Adelaide with a caravan on the back - the bolt left the party and took the tensioner, belt, cam followers and a few valves with it.

    Quite messy - photo will come..

    Anyway, need to get the job done, update when I can!

    Leaving the timing belt to age and break naturally is looking like a good option

    A great time saver would be to remove all the wheel liners and wheel arches and rear bumper at home prior
