No problem.
Yes thats an error with the guide... the engine needs to be rotated via the crank shaft. :happy2:

Just finished this!! Thanks so much for the guide, it was invaluable in getting the job done and saved a tonne of money!! :happy2:
Wasn't without its issues though... First thing that went wrong was when manouvering the coolant lines... a nipple on one of the plastic flanges broke off showering me and the engine bay in coolant!
Secondly despite being careful I managed to strip the Adjuster bolt when trying to undo it... Bit of a nightmare, had to drill it a bit to relieve some of the torque before opening it with a spline hammered in to it...
Got there eventually though! :doh:

You really need someone to push hard on the breaker bar whilst you undo it, or use a decent cordless impact wrench if working solo :happy2:
