What would a cambelt service entail since the S38 does not have a cambelt?

Haha no Im genuinely interested. Im sure he means a cam chain service, but as far as I know, there aren't any serviceable items on the cam chain system...I could be wrong tho. Chain guides can wear, but I dont think this is an issue with S38s

Hi gents, just refitted my loom and connected up some of the loose ends. Picked up a couple gremlins.
Seems like constant power to window switches and boot light. I imagine it's going to be something silly. I did pick up that the cables going to the boot were 41 on the old loom vs 45 on the new loom.

I got the following to work...
Central locking and alarm
Electric windows for 3 windows (I suspect this was due to the break in)
Rear lights all working
Electric seats

Need to sort out
Sound system
Sunroof
Figure out where all the bits go
And the start with restore

Hi buddy, nothing changed really. The gremlins are still present. I just installed the carpet and front seats. Might only get further attention in Jan.

I also  need a battery but dont want to buy new as I'm not sure how long the restore will take.
