yes course i drive,

i just clean it every 2 months or so,

one its clean i uses auto glym Vinyl and rubber care which helps maintain a factory finish look,

its very easy to maintain if cleaned on a regular basis

removing all that black thing will show the two cams. youll have 2 replace the gasket and make sure you torque the bolts back up. personally i wouldnt touch it bcuz if needs engine work and they see its been off might decline warranty work

i wouldnt think that much tbh. if i was you id get the spare one spray it up and then let a vaux garage do it. prob a half hour job which would be £26 at our place. seems expensive but they will note it been done at vaux therefore wont cause any warranty issuses in future.

he took his car in for squeaky brakes so they put it up on ramp, mucked about for an hour and said tis fine now.
Drove it out and by the time we got to the end of the road it was twice as loud as when it went in LOL

£26 to take off some torque screws and screw sum back on?

theyd b as well askin u to pull ur trousers down bend over n feel the thrust of a knob bein shoved up ur arse, that would b a less subtle shafting.

yeah but i would rather pay 26 quid and keep my warrenty,

thats priceless if you think about it,

my car could just stop working, and they could blame it on that,

i know its alot for what it is, however its got to be done as i dont wanna loose my warrenty
