Which hose?

I'm not sure. Went to a mechanics car part shop. Talked about my van said I need a new cam belt and he said " we can do the work here for you!" " I would change the ...hose as well as it can go with the cam belt."

Maybe the water hose?

whats an oramge? have you got the cambelt tools, dial gauge, locking pins, pin spanner, that kinda stuff?

Well you can think what ever you like you have never met me. So you don't know what I am capable of.

If it offends you then im sorry, but the truth is, going by your previous posts, you have little knowledge of mechanics (nothing to be ashamed of) To attempt to tackle a cam belt replacement without knowledge, or the correct tools is heading for the sudden death of your engine. Let somebody experienced do it for you.
If you cant afford it, then im affraid youve bought the wrong type of vehicle.
Thats correct, I haven'y met you, and I still wonder if you actually exist.

A good point...is cooper a real person?

Nope just annoys me a bit. Learn as I go generally , been told tricks to change cam belt and will have some help but I want to do mostly on my own otherwise I'll never learn.

Definitly can't afford to pay someone to do it. But my bro in law is a mechanic which is good.
Dads stripped and re build cars and such.

I've mainly worked on body work so my mechanical side isn't great.

Can I just ask why do you think I don't exist?
