I finally got it all done, whoop! That took about 5 months - is anyone tracking record times for completing jobs?!
Getting the right tension on the drive belts proved quite irritating, I was never happy but decided to just try it and see. During the test drive it all sounded good, no whining.
The tip I read somewhere about putting the space saver on the front-right side of the car for good access to the crankshaft bolt was very helpful.
Only real problem I have now is working out why I have a ~1/4" ball bearing and a ~4mm diameter ~1cm long spring left over!
They were lying underneath the car when I finished and I cannot figure out where they might have come from.I hope my next job doesn't take as long... but during the test drive I realised that I need to get new suspension - I reckon that will at least all of next winter!
Cheers
