As my car has 80k on the clock and I haven't got any proof that the Cams and Variocam chain have been changed I think it's probably best that it's done now - before I start charging round tracks and finding out how expensive replacement engines are!
My questions are:
Is the cam change DIY-able, in that are there any weird (expensive) tools I need to undo gibberty-flibbit nuts and are the parts easily available? Or, is it best to take the car to someone who has done it many times before and save myself a whole load of grief (swearing and busted knuckles).
Secondly, where would people suggest in the W Midlands area to carry out this work, and roughly how much should it cost?
Thanks
Tom
