Well it’s been over five years since the last belts change. Alt autos here I come, well not quite didn’t know he was closing down I got the last kit and a few things more from Steven. Scouring the net now, parts are getting even harder to find.Where are members finding things now?

AUTODOC is where I get some stuff from

Cheers Jamie

Vkma 01272 is the timing belt

Vkpc 82646 is the water pump. Both skf parts

INA make the belt kit as well and can be had on eBay from a seller called parts in motion and they have 20% off their eBay prices fairly regularly

Did Joe fit one of his aux belt pulley guards Jim?

Sorry to hear about Steve at AA selling up

Yes Simon he did. It’s a kind of funny experience just like renewing your car insurance, you build yourself up and make a phone call, you are disappointed then you go to plan B then you are out of your comfort zone because your coupe requires these belts and pulleys and bearings I think I’ve managed in the end. Aye Steve was a good source of parts but he said it just was not making anything.
