[Swearwolf]

I thought it might need doing as there's no sign of it being done before...just removed top cover with my step dad and its hanging on by a thread almost literally! Has a 1999 time stamp: cars year of registration! Cars done 160,000 miles....just went and bought the kit being done tomorrow morning! wont drive it til then haha

[danzooo]

holy cow, thats one tank of a cambelt!

Surprised it lasted that long! I think mine itching to snap, cars on 132,000 and ive got no service history with it so I have no clue when it was done last. Phoned up the garage that was on the plates though and they told me the previous owner was a woman and she didnt like to pay for the repairs it had done, so somethings ben fixed anyway

Need to get the clutch done soon and thats £200odd its already had new wheel bearings, front lower suspension arms, new springs, whole new backbox + pipe, new handbreak cables and 2 lambda sensors. Really is an annoying car

my car has over 185k on it now and almost the entire exhaust system was replaced less than 3500 miles before i got the car. i think the old owner got sick of putting money into it and sold it before the timing belt needed doing. right now it needs a timing belt, water pump and an atf change + an oil change. acura dealer said it had a bunch of work done to it before i got it, including motor mounts, brakes & brake lines and the radiator was replaced, which means the engine coolant was replaced too.. i REALLY should have the plugs, wires and cap changed but it's working fine now and i don't want to spend the money.

WAHHHHH

do you always have to blab on about your own car in other peoples threads?

[Swearwolf]
