To remove it, you need a full height lift really. its a two person job, one with a pry bar on the flywheel via the access hole in the bottom of the bellhousing and the other with a half inch breaker bar on the crank nut. Push don’t pull as it will slip and the injury will be nasty.
A cheap...
Where abouts are you? I use a chap called Justin (the magician) in the Portsmouth area. I recon he would be half what you have been quoted. PM if you want his number @conaero
Exactly this. There are several access points to coat the internals. Personally I use Waxoyl. Yes a bit old school but it still does a fantastic job.
The OEM Waxoyl gun (available from Halfords) comes with pipes with holes in so you can pull and push in to cavities to fully coat them.

Correlation means the ecu sees the position of the crank and cam via the tdc crank sensor and camshaft sensor…that does not return expected state.
The variators alter this via the variators solinoid.
So it’s seeing a mismatch which can be as simple as a sensor (seen it say cam but ends up...
Seconded crank pulley removal. If you break it on a 4200 it’s £2k to replace (or was when MAFs needed changing but I had a good used one I sold him for £400)
It’s under priced for sure. Just remember the clutch, a £5k bill coming at 40-45k miles. Discs need to come off and be inspected for cracks on the reverse around the rotor fixings….then all the other stuff.
Yes he is as busy as ever, I’ve been round a lot lately as both of us are running a small specialty solution and we are helping each other. I have messaged him for you
Timing does not slip, the very end bit of the guide snaps off and sits at the bottom of the timing case. The guide is a tenner but whilst you are in there with the chain off you may as well replace it and all the guides as a kit (£600)…so the costs start to ramp up. Then you could change the...
Ok, so I have had a good listen to this. First thing of note, your dipstick is not pushed all the way home.
The sewing machine sound are the injectors and totally normal but if you listen on, you can hear like a washing machine on full spin type of sound which suggest chain or more so chain...
