Argh, was that O2 sensor rubbish then? Let me know man - happy to give you the money back!

Ok cool. Have to be a dry day at mine with no cover outside, so just a case of when the hell that'll be! :roll:

You can grab the O2 sensor sooner if you need to?

No worries on the rims dude, they're sat wrapped in anti static bubble wrap at the moment, will keep hold of them for you. Let me know when you'll be free though, the mrs will be in my ear about moving them etc soon enough I expect :lol:

Did I not do a how-to? I just followed the big bible.

Just noticed, I had some pictures in my gallery on here but it's been taken offline for the time being. Basically, rocker cover off, then those camshaft covers off (just the top one, no point in removing the one over the exhaust camshaft), then theres a few big bolts over the cam seal, take those off then take the cover off then you can remove the seal. The new seal I had to put in place then tighten the cover over to get it in as it was a very tight fit!

I don't know the proper names for these bits but I hope they're descriptive enough!

Keep the bolts in order so you know where each one came from exactly, and follow the torque specs as in the manual. Easy peasy 8-)
