[Fl@pper]

anyone split the bottom pulleys ?

mine are fixed together

still easy to do but just fiddlier so to speak

I found doing the belt on my 16v very rewarding & satisfying

sorry couldn't resist - if its any help to soften the blow mines technically on its 4th belt and 2nd cyl head in 60k miles but only driven it for 4k miles in 3 years

after rebuild realised cams were to wild for the way i use it and a tad noisy to be honest so swapped em over and even though only 3k miles for the sake of £12 i always stick a new belt on if its come off

hows yours going stu ? still off road ?
