Thanks, this provided some good information, but I am hoping I can short-
cut some of the procedures eg not removing the cam sprockets from the
camshafts and getting the timing correct by dabs of paint on the old cam
belt and sprockets, - then transferring the paint marks from the old belt
to new before reassembly. I have done this successfully many times before
on other vehicles.

Also have to renew the alternator bearings, water pump, belt
tensioner,serpentine belt etc. This hardware will cost about £120 from
German and Swedish, plus about 5 hours of my work as a 69 year old I think !

No caps is much easier to read than all-caps, IMO.

Thanks for the change! BTW, in answer to your query - Robert Bentley.
