what happened was:
I feared i may have had to pull out earlier, my aux belt decided it liked beig on its own and left the car, of course no tremp guage and now battery light meant i had no idea... until i stopped and i could hear it hissing and my heaters had gone cold
limped it to a fuel station to put water in it, then realising the belt had gone leaving me with no water pump drive. she'd boiled right up and i was left fearing for the headgasket...
left her for an hour and a half whil I walked to my mates work to get a lift to go and get a belt, leaving it to cool down, got a belt, soent ages trying to fit it with just an adjustable spanner and a breaker bar, half an hour later suceeded and shes running fine *PHEW* although im now leaving driving it as much as possible to prevent any firther disasters.LOL
Though ive just put the stat in hot water and its not responding at 89degrees like it should...
The race is on to get a stat!

Nope that about right thing about it cambelt is 5.1 hour officially (can be done in about 4) top engine cam seal is 7.1 hours and you've got to get the head etc off so 10 hours is fine.
Can get away with reusing bolts your supposed to measure them but depends how keen you are I'd say change them not worth the hastle.
well im lucky turns out it was just the stat!
Congratulations thats svaed some tim and cost.
aye, i was execting to have to cancel a few jobs i had booked in tomorrow and get mine ready!
Well it may have still gone, need to get a sniff test done, its back to its old tricks...
