well its probably gonna take 2 hours.. in the day light. so you can double that for "dusk" tow it home... and do it in morning!

Braille?

Not a bad guess....

ISTR it took about 3-4 hours, about 30 or so obscenities, half a pint of blood, 2 dead chickens, one book of voodoo cam-aligning magic, 1 bolt more than we could find, lots of cable ties (For keeping the cam belt in place.) a lot of water, and some sockets

Not bad for a mazda.


Oh, and ask mike what not to do with a radiator cap

more like miracle

I should add, that should you find yourself in this situation, the BP garage on the a47 between Hinkley and Leicester was very accomodating.

Oi, I was bl**dy accomadating......... I was just making my evening meal, planning on going to the pub when i got your call.

Dropped everything and spent the evening laughing at, sorry helping, you.

I think the only reason the garage where accomadating was because we where out of the way and it gave the lad something to watch. How you managed to get your blood over the whole side of the car i'll never know - especially as you couldn't find the cut. Must have been the chickens.

Its amazing how many times when doing a simple replacement of a water pump you can point out "i could do this in 30 minutes of less on a crossflow".



Pictures may follow depending on Davids mood.

Thats because in a crossflow, everything is a service part. Not to mention if it doesnt move and it should, you can hit it, if it holds water and it shouldnt you can poke it, and if it leaks water and it shouldnt you just tighten it up.

Apparently the japanese don't like to keep things so simple.

Nevermind.

Sounds like you had fun then
