I noticed that the camshaft it sits on can turn by about 1mm, is this just down to the valves needing adjusting? or cos the belt is slacker cos of the wheel being on the skew?
The camshaft itself isnt loose, so im presuming its the wheel or woodruff key that is knackered, it just worries me what damage has been done inside to the valves.

No wonder it souded like a bag of nails when it was running.

Also, im not bad with spanners, but is this something i can do myself? or should i put it in to the shop to do?

Im *really* not flush enough at the moment to be paying out £40 odd quid an hour at the moment for repairs.


Thanks

Cy
