Labour exchange.....

Guys, not sure if ive posted this up before but if i have never mind....

I need the ribbed belt tensioner doing on the xm, it could also do with an LHM change.....

Is anyone local(ish) fancy doing this for me in exchange for me doing a car for them? It would save me the money and time booking it in at a garage, and someone gets a new looking car again as a pay off.....

Any takers?,,,weather would need to be dry and not freezing though ;)

Bloody shame you're so far away Vince... Whilst I'd not do all the work I would always be happy to assist and guide but I fear the distance is just too great between us...

I did think of you when I first saw this Paul...

You're not far from Vince are you?

My other thought was also my own recent topic in which there was a que Of people willing to help.. Not... :D :D :D

Yes I'm the closest probably with the fixing knowledge but unfortunately to remove that panel it's a massive strip down job.. It was well put in.. The first parts before the rest of the dash.. Believe me...

Paul, I'm lost :? Why would the dash need to be stripped to do a tensioner and an LHM change?

Because any job on a 2.1td means you have to start at the back of the car and work forwards to gain access.

Ahh and I thought that course of action only applied to a 2.0TCT Will. One lives and learns ;)
