Going to do all belts and pulleys plus dephaser and of course water pump I think now. New thermostat and may as well get the aircon regas done at the same time lol. Hopefully she will last 4 days of running to work and back. Thankfully only 13 miles on B roads each way taking a chilled drive...

Thanks gents. Few bits to touch up so can grab a rattle can and a chip pen.

Mine needs doing too as leaking oil out of some of the bolts and a little along the joint. Instant gasket will be used on mine. Can get it from halfords in a tube.

Thanks. Looks like stainless steel. Is that correct?
