Marc, dist removal is for replacing the belt, not fitting the kit. If you've just fit it, and your car is high mileage, you might want to consider having the belt replaced as a prophylactic measure.

Darryl - sorry, re-read Dunnaso's post and you're right. I thought he took the dist. out for the vent kit installation (as that was what the discussion was centred on), not the belt itself. The PO of my car had the dist belt changed at about 50 000 km, I'm at 88 000 km now but it did the last 38 000 km with no vent kit installed - as I just installed the vent - so I do plan to get the belt changed.
Looking at the right-up in Adrian's book it sounds too complex for me (I'm just getting started with this stuff) so I think I'll have the dealer do it when they adjust the valves, etc.

Umm...sorry if I did but I did not think so...I was looking back in the archives to try to avoid asking some questions that had been answered but did not intend to re-start an old thread....Opps.
Sorry.
Sorry.
