Hmmm yeah I cant think of anything else It could be, I replaced the water pump, front cam seal and tensioner at the same time as the belt. had a little trouble figuring out if I had the spring correct on the tensioner, I guess maybe I havnt. When I say fluttering it is flapping back and forwrds...

recently I changed my cambelt as per another thread, ever since it has been making a funny noise. I have just taken the top timing cover off to have a look, and once you bring the revs up a little the belt starts fluttering on the drive side. tension seems to be ok, does anyone have any...

Awesoome thank you just what I was after

no, unfortunatly it shows/ tells nothing oif the tensioner, other than telling you to check its condition when doing your cam belt

Help Bump- HELP!!!!! I still havnt found where the leg spring for my tensioner (cambelt) is supposed to rest on the block. Although it is all running, I think I have it in the wrong spot, thus having too much preload on the spring = too tight on cambelt = stuffed big end. Can anyone help...

Did you take notice of where the spring sits? Mine was incorrectly assembled, and it was too loose, just replaced cambelt but Im not sure ive got the spring in the right place now, might be too tight. Where does the leg of the spring rest- i put it against a stud sticking out of the block that...

Thanks, yeah Ive got it back together and its tight, just maybe too tight, didnt have to force anything other than winding the tension on to the spring. Th leg of which is sitting on a stud that sticks out of the block, that has no other apparant use. ie- nothing bolts on to it. just want to...

I have just done my timing belt, and replaced the tensioner at the same time, which does not come witht the spring- this was incorrectly assembled, and I have put it where I think it goes, but Im afraid I have it wrong and the belt is now too tight- which can stuff your big end. Can anyone tell...

I was wondering if anyone could give me the specs for a walky wheel alignment. or point me in the right direction cheers

Shouldnt need to cut anything. Just drill the rivets out that hold the metal surround, then if you have the manual one rivet that in. Too easy and much neater finish.

is there anyway of testing the module, also any ideas if the module is fitted to models without elec aerials? same looms etc. cheers

sorry people should have lokked 1st- found similar posts with possible answers, was going to delete this thread but dont think i can. sounds like it might be the module, Ill have to try and source one

Having very basic electrical knowledge I cant get my head around how the wiring to my elec aerial works. I have just purchased an aftermarket elec aerial. It has two earths, a perm power and switched power. When I plug it all in to the original aerial wiring on my calais it is on a perm down...

My calais has recently had a wheel alignment, it is very twitchy/ sensitive ior sharp in the steering. Requires constant work of the steering whell in a straight line. Ive been told it probably needs more camber, and that it might be due to it being lowered and the consequent change of geometry...

Can someone please tell me if there is a difference between a 3l auto calais diff, and a 3lman berlina diff. (other than obvious casing differences and discs). I have just got rid of the slushbox in my calais (thank god) and have put the 5 speed in, and running the original diff. Have been told...

Ps vlv8vic- cheers looks like a pretty good site, I might have to become a regular. This is my 3rd VL, and first calais, will be holding onto her for awhile, plus Im across the ditch so if you did want my good bits it would cost ya :D

cheers, Ill check out the panard rod when I have the chance, although my last VL was lowered without one and sat flat, just pushes the diff to one side. Not ideal, rubbed on the guard on one side. I might have to resort to a shim, although I really cant understand why it would be sitting like...

I just bought a 3l calais, It sit low on one side, Drivers, appears to be just th front and that is dragging the whole side down. It is a good inch or more lower than the passenger side. When I bough it I assumed it would be a stuffed spring. And so did the Mechanic that looked at it. Replaced...
