I dont know of any garages that specialise over there but if the 3rd Gen is anything like the 2nd Gen the cambelt is a dodle - 25 minute job.

as for the rest - oil filter oil etc - easy peazy. Why not have a bash yourself ?

You must be joking, A Flea knows more about engines than I do,

I will give the oil change a go, how many miles between oil changes

If you fancy a day out to Basingstoke I can sort you out.

TonyN is your man if you need someone to do it - for sure he is a top dog on these motors.

Miles between oil changes is 5000...not km...and its 6litres with filter and 5 odd without filter change. there is a servicing info section on here if have a wee search.

dont forget to do the filter too - its accessible through the bonnet and an easy change.

The cam belt is simply a case of removing the cover, releasing the tensioner, removing the tensioner and then replacing the belt....you then need to use a vice to tension the tensioney and stuff an allen key in the tiny hole in the body of the tensioner to keep the rod locked in so you can refitiit...then remove the allen key and viola....(this applies to second gen 3.0l - not sure if 3rd is same).

I think the 3rd Gen is 8 litres with a filter change, although I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. I certainly got 8 litres into the engine the other weekend, and the level came just below the top of the dipstick. (AFTER running the engine for a while - I'm not quite that green).

Gonna add a *more economical than a 3rd Gen* to my for sale ad....!

Thanks for the info Guys,

Tony - I'm gonna try the oil change myself - but the bigger jobs I might have to come down and see you. As long as you make me a cuppa and a bacon buttie.

My Brother lives in Andover so Basingstoke is on the way,

I hope the 3rd gens have a diferent dipstick to second gens! or did you mean the top of the mark on the dipstick?
