Member Jonathan Kay Posted March 9, 2011 Member Share Posted March 9, 2011 I've just read the cam belt thread and obviously need to change mine. 1.8 K in South Oxfordshire. I don't think I'll do this myself, Can anyone recommend a mechanic nearby? Thanks Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAC Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 JK Do a search on Utube, there is a video of exactly how to do it. Buy a cam clamp from ebay for £5.0 It really couldn't be simpler. especially in a 7, as access is normally the worst problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stationary M25 Traveller Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I was wary after 30 years of company cars ..... saw the YouTube video, and went for it. Don't know why I was worried !! For extra peace of mind, buy a bottle of Tippex and put white spots on the old belt and all of the pulley rims, then transfer the dots to the new belt before fitting it. Simples ! Sure a local Sevener will come and assist ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
