318 IS cam chain change??????

[mt1104]

The sprockets have worn because the chain has stretched - they have basically worn around the chain.

If you stick a new chain on without chaining the sprockets the chain won't fit into the sprockets at all - thus making it more likely to jump than if you just left it! #it may not though

If you know anything about bikes you will know that if you but a new chain on old gears it won't change gear properly..

ah ok, that makes more sense. cheers for explaining lol - I know absolutely nothing about bikes.

Magpie - cheers, I'm looking forward to the challenge, with a lot of help of course lol. Got the e30 to learn RWD as I've been rallying in FWD french shopping karts and so am looking to broaden my driving skills. Already bushed the e30 when I lost it on a wet roundabout, but hey, trial by fire and all that

Looks like you have all the parts, though it was nearly 3 years ago.

got it now i couldn't get imageshack to work but got there with photobucket . only thing not on that invoice is the tensioner . but it took me so long to get this invoice posted that i won't be bothering with the tensioner one . i know it was 3 years ago but have they really put the prices up that much ?

that is a big relief,,,but went out again in it today with the pina reps on and
gave it a boot a bit max was 5k..done about 11 mile with the odd fast pull away.[lights/rearbumper huggers etc]
and nop noise. but i bet if i even pointed towards a m/way it would've returned
