engine should be strung up by their tender parts over a very high cliff.
Changing the cam belt, taken most of today and I haven't got the belt off
yet. Who thought of putting the bolt holding the top belt cover at the back,
where you can just get you finget tips to and no more? Took forever to get
it off. Then of course you have to remove the plastic cross member above the
engine to lift that part of the cover. Mr Haynes conveniently forgets this.
And it took best part of an hour to get the crankshaft bolt out, it was so
tight with goo, had to use a 2 foot bar on the socket, at 1/6 turn each time
until it was almost completely out.
At least the weather forecast for tomorrow is good.

Sound like one of those jobs that IS actually worth paying someone else to
do.
Wonder what the 'book' time for this job is
