Intermittant squealing yesterday.On inspection ribs very brittle and changed for new contitech item in 10 mins.
-
That was pushing it. :-X
-
Good going :y
We've seen a few cases where the aux belt fails, and whips behind cambelt cover, taking that out with it, which obviously ends in tears.
-
I've just changed a cam belt at 220K - the last change having been done at 60K
or to put it another way, that's 160,000 miles on the same cam belt
-
80,ooo miles on my last cambelt :-X ;D

How did the belt feel? Brittle-ish?
-
very brittle
-
My Omega did 83k on a Cambelt, and 83k on the AUX belt too, very lucky to be honest.
-
just found that the mv6 last had a belt change at 40k miles, it now on 125k, it going nowhere now till ive got one to go in, gives time to also fit the lpg and rocker gaskets whilst all apart
-
Write down mileage, so you don't miss next replacement at 242K. ;D
-
WOW, I'm a fussy 40k belt changer.... Got another 25k to go tho for next one :y ..... Some miles there on one belt, very risky....
-
Anyone remember when the belt on the bullet was done? Think it was Newent one year by TonyGnome, but can't remember year. Or mileage ;D
I think its overdue on mileage anyway. Job for the summer ;D

We're thinking it must have been 2009 at the latest so it'll be four years this year at least.

According to my MPG records, its done 30k since 9th November 2010. So if its done 30k in 2.5yrs, I guess its fair to say its "due" ::)

He'll be a qualified mechanic by Newent this year.
-
Did he change the waterpump, can he remember?
Was that the year of the smiley faces?
-
He says he did and yes it was the year I was framed by the cheap watch brigade.

Ta, I'll just slap a belt kit on then. When its warmer. Much warmer ;D
Framed? I think not, don't give me that innocent face, DLK grassed you up... >:(

Funny you should say that, but Timex said it was DLK...

I seem to remember the Highlander warning about the trustworthiness of Dundonians.

Don't let him touch it, in that case. ;)
