Couple of queries for the technically competent...
Vehicle: 2005 'new' Panda 1.2 petrol 4x4
Cambelt:
I've never done any real mechanical work, but wondered if changing belt and tensioner is the kind of job a newbie like me might be able to handle? Obviously it's crucial it's done right, how difficult is it likely to be? Otherwise, what should I pay someone to do it for me (how many hours should it take?)
Rear bumper and black extra middle bumper thing:
This isn't really mechanical as such so ought to be within my abilites. I reckon this may well be the cause of the irritating rattling at rear of my 4x4 (thanks for suggestions before, I've checked out shocker rubbers and seem to be fine). If I can get the whole bumper assembly off, I will have hopefully isolated the rattle. Is this going to be an awkward job or it is straightford (to put it back late too!). Thought I could re-assemble with some mastic/foam/rubber washers to get rid of rattle.
Cheers!
