Year of Manufacture *: 2005

Hi all enjoying the sun?
I have a pending cam belt replacement on my father in laws ZS and Do not unfortunately own the appropriate locking kit. Have looked into buying the kit and its a bit steep circa £200! i wouldnt mind if i was likely to do a few more down the line but the likely hood is i probably wont? would anyone being willing to lend/hire a kit they may own to me? i am in the Hillingdon Area not far from heathrow, alternatively has anyone on here done it without the tooling and found it to be ok? any advice would be greatly appreciated. Again enjoy the sun!

Thats fantastic Carl. If you let me know how much it will be to post to me and when you could do without it i'd be happy to except your offer. Not sure what you want to do about me getting the money to you? do you have a paypal account??

Reposting this request as the lender of the tool is no longer able to get it to me so if there is anyone else out there willing to let me borrow/hire the kit please let me know.
Thanks
again this is a non profit job (family members car) so would be a big help.

Tool recieved safe and sound thanks.
Just one question though, the tools you have sent are for locking the front (cam belt end) cam pulleys in order to change the main belt, in autodata it shows another tool (a plate that bolts to the two pulleys) being used to hold the rear cam pulleys (gearbox end)
Is the tool used for the front sufficent to hold the cam shafts in the correct position whilst changing the smaller rear belts? obviously i would have to change the main belt before removing the rears. Any advice appreciated.
Thanks again. Luke
