It's heaving it down here now.
..... and just started here too. It's now an overcast night, the wind has totally died down, and it's becoming increasingly humid - thunder on the way?

I was reading the forecast on google for Spain and Europe for next week, hotting up from Africa with temps hitting 41C. The UK South East and South will reach 30C on Tuesday and 34C by Thursday. The warmer weather is expected to carry on until July.

Plus I don't know if you have already done so but maybe raising this in one of the more technical areas of the site might give it greater exposure and get you more help.
Hi Steve, the mechanic has discussed the problem with MarinaBrian and Brian is going to look for a used camshaft up north. Part of the problem is lack of availability of spares for the 2.0 V6. I looked at Rimmers and eBay, but I don’t have the part numbers. I will look into this in more detail tomorrow. Thanks for looking at my post and thinking about it.

Good morning Andy, thanks for that. Do you know if it’s the whole cam that’s needed or just part of it? I was awake 2 nights ago worrying about it, then I thought yesterday what’s the point, worrying will make me get stressed and the shingles will come back again, as shingles is fed by stress. Thanks for keeping a look out for one. I know how the gurus network behind the scenes and I hoping something good is going to happen from this. My mechanic said, he can loan me a car for my UK trip, if I can get it insured. I have no problem with that
