He's even fitted the bottom half of the cam sensor bracket the wrong way round!!
The studs should face forward






And you'll need to " relieve " the rocker cover here too:




When fitted with a pulley............

No mate!
need to try calling him again, tried a few times with no answer, last time we spoke, he said he was just getting someone with a cheque book to send me a cheque and he'll give them the cash! about 5 weeks ago then when he had his car keyed and he said he'd brake it, i asked him to send the loom, but he didn'#t reply to that
I'll probably have to get Ahmed to just bump up the mapping price abit and get it from him instead!!
