FRONT BUMPER There are screws inside the front wheel arch remove
take out the head lights screws on the top cross member and screws down the back just lossen long reach socket you will see the inner wing screws remove.

Main screws remove the front grills and look up these are a t bolt type they only need slacking off when all bolts are done the bumper will pull off pull the bottom corner inside the wings outward.

from previous experience,
keep a bucket handy when you loosen off that bottom pipe!!

just phoned Colin Gunning www.colingunning.co.uk and they have quoted me £250 to fit my waterpump (just bought it) and change the cambelt (they supply the kit) .. might go with that, as I'd only be saving £170 if I bought the Cambelt kit and did all the work myself, least this way I get a stamp in the book too
