I had assumed it would be a 5 minute job, but after looking at this, I think otherwise.

Really want a switch fitted, but b0ll0cks if I'm going through all that!

lol thought you were getting rid?

Tom · #3 29-04-10, 21:37

I am. But until then...

matt-m · #4 29-04-10, 21:51

its only like fitting a amp i'll bob round and do it for you lol

Tom · #5 29-04-10, 23:44

feel free to bob on round if you like Matt. You can fit this aux belt for me too while you're at it lol.

Instructions I have to work with so far (Got them from Terry on VVOC) are:

	Quote:
	2 16mm bolts removes the torque mount and 3 more removes the bracket. The bit you'll struggle with is the lower engine mount. This needs removing as the belt runs round it. A 16mm under the subframe and 3 15mm bolts into from the mount bou you need to support the engine

For a novice like me- Im going to struggle. Prob be out there all day tomorrow lol.

just put a jack under the sub frame and also undo the torque mount as well makes the engine move down a little giving slightly better access

cheers for the tip m8 im sure it will all make sense once I get under the bonnet lol

I swear I replied to this! lol.

Fitting TC is easier than it looks. Its really not that much work mate. Having done the fan belt, this is a piece of pie.

yeh maybe not 'hard' to do.. but looks like a bit of a long-winded process, that's what is puting me off m8.

I used the exact same how-to Tom. The TC mod is a doddle, believe it or not! I fitted mine in about 45 minutes, that included sorting the wiring, removing the kick panel and the radio etc., just make sure you follow the how-to exactly. I can understand your trepidation, it does look a bit daunting but just break it down section by section and you're good to go!
