Thanks, I'm sure it is easy compared to most engines..........although I have done it on a 1.0 and it is so much easier, remove water pipe (jubilee clip), altenator belt, four bolts that hold the pump on, clean and refit. I think I realised just how easy the 1.0 is when I went to change a thermostat on a 1.2i.......slightly more complex than remove the jubilee clip/hose, pull out old, push in new, done! Shame the old ohv is so low powered . The last time I changed a thermostat on a 1.0 it was in halfords car park.
Changing topic a little, apart from creating hassle and maintanence, why did they use belts on OHC, why not use the same internal chain things (Igather some have gone back to this)?
