Title: Changed my first Cambelt
Post by: Jimbob on 19 June 2008, 20:11:31
Big day for me today, managed to change my first ever drive belt.

Only took a minute or 2

Didnt use a locking kit or anything.

Come on, you didn't think it was gonna be a V6 did you!

You may remember the bad evening I had last Friday 13th, well thats the mower mended, only cost a couple of quid off ebay  ;D

lol, you aint wrong!

on a side note, its running better than it has in ages, guessing the old belt may have been a bit loose
