I said closer to my house, not at it. 
However going off the latest EA meets I'm sure the flats carpark would be adequate for the 3 people that would turn up.

Yeah because they are so much different to any other 16v engine. Next you'll be telling me you must take it to a specialist because its impossible to do it your self.

I've only done 2 lol, both 8 valves.  Specialist would at least offer warranty if anything went wrong. 
It's not just me anyway, a few of the local Pug guys wouldn't risk changing belts on other '6 engines when I asked...

I know 'how' to do it in theory. I just don't like doing things without specific values. Can torque bolts to exactly XXXNm, but '90 degrees with moderate pressure' on a belt will differ between people! We already have one broken engine, why risk another when there are people (like yourself ) that have loads of experience doing them frequently lol.

Lol, you wouldn't have to bring biscuits though, got a surplus of those since people kept buying them at xmas!
Project car or not, rather not to be ruining £300 engines! If it was a HDi I wouldn't worry so much as they're only worth a fiver. What I learn from mistakes is to let someone else do it that knows what they're doing.

So tempted to randomly crash this. Fancy a good roadtrip and I've never been to Suffolk.
That I know of anyway. Is it near that London?

London!? This is farmer territory, none of that city shite here, we don't even have motorways in Suffolk.
London is more like a 5 hour trip because people enjoy crashing on the A12 and ruining everyone elses day. Quicker to go by train, but then you have to be near 'people' urgh...

Slightly OT but that's a great opportunity to learn a new skill and do a cambelt for the cost of parts, I'd jump at that.
This post is an artistic work of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted above as fact.

It's not hard mate, just cut out half your words and complain about the price of stuff a lot. And if the rain is coming from above rather than sideways, say "reyt nice out today, getus me shorts love".

I do. I'll even print the stuff out for you. you have no excuse man. I'll come over one day and walk you through it. Just give me some notice. specially if the engines out. Really good opportunity to learn. I'll check before it goes back together that Its tight etc
