Hi folks
getting a bit exasperated now!
I've got what looks like a 2-piece timing belt cover. Top part comes off like a piece of urine, nice and easy, but the haynes book of lies says I now need to remove the front offside wheel and arch liner, before undoing the bolts on the lower/central cover. well, I've done the former, but I can't for the life of me work out where these mythical bolts are, or how to take of the central/lower cover.
Any helps?
Cheers, Heffs

if its an 8v, jack it up, wheel and archline off....
then take off the drive belt and bottom pulley attached to the crankshaft...
then get a light and get your head up in there,
should be 3 (maybe 4) bolts that are 10mm and its should come out easy....

not actually a fan belt seen as there's no fan attached to it.... 
is alot of work, as the powersteering pump need unbolted, exhaust and inlet manifold wich are a bit of a pain to get to with the head still on, and locking the flywheel aswell... which if your following the haynes manual is useless at telling you where the hole for it is...

haha yeah not looking forward to the rest of this job  I've got the camshaft and flywheel locked already, and yes the description was cack! I've got the front pipe unbolted from the manifold and the inlet manifold is all disconnected. it seems to be all the messy anciliary stuff that's taking the time. Think I'm going to have to look at the price of trains to newquay on friday lol.
