clutch done last week and belts being done on thursday...going keep my 16v til it falls apart ! belts done today, said cambelt was a bit loose , but all the belts were in fairly good order. Still has a slight noise from the balance belt [ pulley/tensioner ? ] , but still works ok ! 41,000 miles , these have lasted on a 16v , so not too bad . Thats the 16v done now, onto the list of faults with the 20v now !!

just back from the garage...squeaking noise from the new belts ?? , bonnet would not shut and the engine temp gauge wasn't working . JESUS ..you go in with one fault and come out with others ! Both now fixed apparently, so we shall see. Bar pressure sits at 1.5 when idle now the gauge is working .

the problem with the bonnet is cured [ so he says ] is when you pull the bonnet lever in the cabin, is to return it fully back otherwise the bonnet will not shut. I think he must have done something to it, as it was fine before he touched it !! When one of my cars go in next time , i am going to label them "DELICATE, HANDLE WITH CARE ", might get some respect , you never know !!
3 days it was in there, told him " no rush " and this is the best they can do in 3 hours labour.
