wtf are you getting those prices from?

Just figured it out.
Bevan PM me your contact details. I need to do my water pump as well. Maybe we can do a seperate dodgy day. may as well save cost & share on delivery.

Maybe do an oil change and grab a new thermostat whilst you're at it?

I also have the complete NB8B Mazda Workshop manual if we need it.

Yoink!!! That will come in handy!

Plenty of room for everyone. We should be able to park 6 to 8 cars undercover, with room to work on 4 or 5 at once

[Benny]

I'd be changing the radiator and heater hoses at the same time.

[Fuzzlet]

Nah Bevan 5 - 6 hrs is enough time....i can help weild a spanner if u wish

Can everyone reply with what work they want to do. That way we can figure out how to arrange the cars (so we don't have someone just doing a brake bleed being parked in by someone doing a timing belt change for example)

I'll lead off:

Long stuff:
Suspension bushes
Wheel bearings
Exhaust heatsink

Short Stuff
Brake bleed
Handbrake adjustment
Oil Change
Brake pads
Wash / Clay Bar / Polish

[StanTheMan]

I'll be there not sure if i'll be doing anything on my car but if I'am.....It will be the same as Bevan. But I may have to do it before then
wheel bearings should be a piece of cake. especially if you have a 1m of pipe we can use as extension or a rattle gun.

If you can sweet talk ampz into comming. He has a wealth of knowlege & a few good tools. apart from that.....he's a great bloke. He would be an asset to have around. him & big dog made it happen for me. John has untold strength. without those 2. i recon it would have taken me 2 days.

But even if neither can make it. we should be cool. I'll try to be there 1st thing in the morning with the bench press. to get us started
