Re: Disaster - advice needed
Hi Jon. Thanks for replying that’s really useful to know, until now I couldn’t see the link. I have been trying to find a garage to do a gearbox fluid change and all have declined, which has made me think I should not try it at home.

Re: Disaster - advice needed
Hi mojo.
So the HT leads melted because the engine was so hot? If so it must have got way hotter than mine did.
Any lasting damage to the engine after replacing the cam belt and stuff?

Re: Disaster - advice needed
Hi Trev,
Thanks for replying, so far no sign of water in the oil, I will try filling it with water to see what happens.
Has anyone evert tried using an endoscope to inspect cylinder bores for damage due to seizing?

Re: V6 cam belt change
My biggest problem is a slipped disc and waiting for surgery. That and when I bought it I told my wife i wouldn’t be doing any work on it.
Otherwise I’d be outside now with it in pieces.

V6 cam belt change
Has anyone had a cam belt changed at a garage recently? 3 independent garages have declined to quote and I’m waiting for the ford and Mazda dealers to respond.
