Hey, just a quick comment (Triggered by the guy who requested a Timing belt change)

This meet is a gesture of good will from people willing to help out. Stuff like doing your headlights, taillights, small adjustments to your car, little bit of interior here and there is alright, but please don't go asking for huge jobs just because you know they'd cost a fortune to get done at a mechanic. Not only that, it'd be very hard work and extremely time consuming for somebody to do it.

well its looking like the best day for this will be sat the 22nd November that is if Kaz is ok with it and I cant forget Ben he need to be free that day as well. But with the amount of liquid in a can/bottle that is coming I think he will

and please if any one wants things done coppy the list that Ben has posted up and add your list to it and as listed above sorry timing belt may be a little bit to much for this day as there are already lots of big jobs booked in.
Just spark plugs are a big job to do.

oh and if you would like Kaz I can get some meat again for a BBQ, just let me know and I will sort it out.

Can I ask an honest question

How hard is it to swap the brake master cyl

If it can be done, I would really like to get it done ... Car has ABS if that makes it more difficult

nicholas · Post by **nicholas** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 9:28 am

I don't mind what the date is, I'll make time for it.

Hoping that Aza might be able to give my headlights a quick once over... apart from that I'll just bum around and harrass Sugar.

Shouldn't be too hard, bring it along, I reckon we could do it.
