Is anyone in this region changing a timing belt?

[nick31]

Hi, I was wondering if there are any DIY enthusiasts or mechanics in this region who are planning to change a timing belt and wouldn't mind me coming along to see the process? I've bought a service and repair manual for my VW passat and the instructions are good, but I still feel a little out of my depth. If I could see someone in action it would help a lot. Thanks very much.

I'm based in West Suffolk, but i don't mind traveling to get to you (especially if you are going to do the work over the weekend).
Also there is no immediate hurry so I can wait a few weeks if you're not planning on changing the cambelt right now.
