Those damned heavy diesels
Tell me about it! Not happy. I'm glad I went for it 2 weeks early as it gives me time now to get everything sorted.
Bought a cambelt kit and water pump for the pug as a few weekends ago I was under it and noticed a weep of coolant from the bottom of the cambelt cover. There's only one place that could have come from.. Oh well, I was planning on doing the belt within the next 10K anyway. It's been way more than 5 years since the last one.
Not going to fit it until the Disco is back together though (unless it leaks further)

You got any links to where to buy the seals and what you need to do with them?
You just cut the old seals out and put the new ones in after heating them a bit. Getting to the seals is simple ( if time consuming) on an e46 but I thought it was a bit more involved on the e36 and involved needing to lock the cams, could be wrong though.
I also broke several fixings doing mine, almost everything in the vanos unit is very low torque

Hopefully nothing serious as it's just an eml light on (mk4 Mondeo tdci 140) still pulling fine no smoke but might be my imagination but average economy is down a bit
Going to go steal my dad's fault code reader and see what's up after breakfast
Hopefully both serious after buying it midweek and buying a tbelt and service kit yesterday I'm skint.

Literally the second I snapped a socket onto a ratchet the rain started 
Still nice quick job and I now have some more noise (and apparently 12bhp ... yeah I think we'll ignore that!)

Definitely got more noise and seems a little faster to respond
