Welcome aboard Richard,....that phase "fully serviced" especially by a dealer needs to be taken lightly.

Thank you for the welcome, Keymaster.
I have always mistrusted dealers, so change my car infrequently.
I did ask them for a price to do the cam and alternator belts as they are not covered by their warrantee, but in the end decided to do it myself.
"If you want it done right, do it yourself" could be my motto.
I just wish it was not so cold this week!

Hi and welcome to the forum

Frustratingly many of the photos in the how to's have been hidden by photobucket when they decided to charge.

Welcome in to the Forum, you are in great company here.
Enjoy your new toy!

Thank you Sundance, I am enjoying learning with the "How Too's" here.
Driving the car is more interesting than fun at the moment, but still enjoyable.

I have been looking through the forum a lot and the "How to" guides in particular, as they are so useful and save asking.
However the usefulness of some is reduced or destroyed by the fact that the photographs are no longer available.
Many are 10 years or more old, so it would be asking a lot to have them rewritten, but perhaps the missing photos could be added in a fie at the end please.

You'll have to let us know which guide it is first please Richard. Maybe we can do something to update it.

As requested, "How to's" with missing pics.

So perhaps all is not lost.
