Well, timing was spot on so no worries there.
I have now got down too removing the exhaust manifold, then its just the cylinder head bolts and stage one is complete!
Took fours hours of my time today, 4-8 and was a bit of a bitch to be honest.
I'm really struggling with the exhaust manifold bolts. The top ones are fine, but the lower ones have VERY little access. It's taken me about 2 hours to remove all but one!! Are there any techniques to make the last one easier, as it did me in tonight, I need a beer and some chips now
Love the omissions and errors in the haynes manual lol.
Hopefully assembly will be easier than stripping it down, at the moment i wish i got the crap garage to fix it lol.
OT : Test drove a punto 1.4 sport, and panda 100hp today, and in a few weeks may be getting a 100hp.
so there will be three years of warranty reapirs
