had a good day in getting the cam belts done today

pointed out to me by the mechanics that the oil pump had been leaking so was a blessing getting it all done

also got a new water pump, front timing belt and rear fuel pump belt , tensioners , crankshaft oil seal and bolt

aux belt , upgraded oil pump, all new antifreeze

all genuine parts

also on the way home for some unknown reason the mpg was a lot better , maybe the fuel pump belt was out

watched them do the disco from start to finish , they done it all in 5x hours flat , very impressive to see both guys work methodically and with pride

came back on the motorway, was extremely smooth , seemed different , it that could just be me

booked in to have the egr blanked and autobox oil done next month

then last job will be getting the headlining out and replacing the air bags

so then it will be ready to play at LZ13

am really chuffed that this big job is now all done , well on the way to getting it all done and dusted

getting this disco was the best thing i've ever done

thought i better take some pics , otherwise it didn't happen, lol

Weight off your mind. If I were you I'd replace your outside air temp sensor, 9 degrees, we don't even get that in the summer ;)

Good to get all that work done in a day, peace of mind motoring for another 7 years :)

there was none left over ,:D:D was good seeing them work, they had different containers and at the end of it there was nothing left over

was good seeing a pair or highly qualified mechanics for a change , who took considerable pride in there work
 
Well done Gary !:)
Must be a day of fixing Disco's !:rolleyes:
Got mine fixed ! NEW p/s/pump from LRS Doncaster :)

Right, they probably hid them under under that cap that has SAE 5W/30 written on it........good hiding place for small things that is.

minus 9 , u need ur specs again, lol

is an enormous amount of worry off my mind , massive relief as the oil pump had been leaking a good few months

took them ages to clean it all off, mpg useto be around 20 , but now has greatly improved

Snot a minus, tis a dash, get your specs on Pops
 
it ant -9c , just have to admit it ur eyes have failed u on this occasion

it says ext -9c,

so raspberries :p:D

Rubbish, there was a space between the - and the 9, so its a dash not a minus.
Anyway, did you ever manage to find the rubber grommets missing from the engine cover?
 
Gotta love upullit got a mint cluster of pipes that love to rot,a rear door central locking motor and a cup holder for 14quid.happy days.

so are u now saying my temp sensor is ok now, :p:D

yes thks , sorted out the grommet, stuck two of them together and works a treat

useto have a very slight rattle at tickover, found there was a bracket at the back of the engine that at some stage hadn't been tightened correctly
