I left this to the experts but still felt like a chicken !! as I have done everything else for the let 3 years' you can't get this wrong and have another go was my thinking . mine is a 1.6 TD (jx) don't know if the 1.7 is easier/harder I suppose it come down to your comfort zone but some jobs you can try and see how you get on , I didn't think this was one of them

my thing is welding,no job puts me off but never put my hand to mechanics,so might leave it to experts.
