Yay! Brilliant news. I wonder how the RAC guy thought it may be the cambelt?

Oh nuts I spoke too soon. He's got the spark back but is pretty sure the cam belt is at fault, ie, it's too slack? He said he's ordered a cam kit(?) and will also need a tensioner (?) I now have to call back at the end of play tomorrow...... You know I'm rubbish but I'm sure a lot of you know what he's talking about! :?

Oh and he also thinks whoever did the belt last didn't do it properly and would maybe explain some of the other problems I've been having (dodgy idling, generally running a bit pants)
