Yea pretty much the same. I used the crank locking pin, but in theory its not needed, if the marks on the belt match the dot on the crank, cam and pump it cant be wrong.
Just make sure u remove the belt with the cam pulley mark and the pump mark facing up, and obviously the crank mark will be...
Yea lots of room to work, key wayed, marks on the new belt etc. Although im not sure if non-gen belts will have the marks as i only ever fitted gen belts.
F9Q = bottle of tip-ex
IIRC the pulleys are keyed so is hard to f**k it up
And im sure the new belts have the white lines on for the crank pulley, the cam pulley and the diesel pump. So only a r****d can get it wrong.
Yea it took 30 mins on my own, very easy.
Made a good improvement too, hard to explain but it felt as tho i could lean on the back end more in fast corners. Felt more stable at speed.
Yea ive got the whiteline rear anti roll bar. Read a good review of it in Evo magazine, and also spoke to someone else with Gaz coilies who said it made a big improvement, which it does IMO of course.
G.P Motors in darley abbey, they are top notch. Do lots of warranty work for toyota, bmw and he is renault approved too. Hes expensive but his repairs are faultless.

No not sure really, just remember it was quite common problem that we saw quite a few times at the stealers. It'll only take 2 mins to tape up and rule it out.
The wing mirrors used to whistle at a certain speed, its the gap between the mirror and the mirror base, tape over it and take it for drive to see if its cured.
Id break it TBH, you'd easily double the £568 what it cost to buy back. Then put that towards your insurance money and buy a clean 182 or a mint 106
Just my opinion tho
Last thing i want to do is spend money on these and have something just as bad as the GAZ, but if theyre really that good then at that price il get some.
Who sells them at £300??
