Our new addition! Finally joined properly...

Cheers, sounds a lot more than just that, but you never know, it is a bit rusty the back box. Think the gearbox mounts might be a possibility as well like Martin said. I shall keep you informed.

Thanks for that. Excuse my ignorance, but assume you sell parts? Have you a website or shop or something? I would be after belt, tensioner and the two aux belts as well.

Also, have double checked (but not had time to scan) and unless I am having a special moment, the service interval for my car, late sohc, is every 9000 miles. Does that mean the interval got shorter for newer cars? Seems a bit odd to me! And do you know if there is a time constraint on the cam belt, as advised by the manufacturer?

Cheers

Do I have a webshop??

Look upwards and see the "BigJimny Shop" weblink.

Not all parts are listed as service items tend to be on request (Reg. Number helps)

I can do the belt and tensioner, I will have a look and see if I can find them cheaper as I feel my current source is on the expensive side for these

The AUX belts are more difficult. Most people find the off the shelf ones do not fit and they start going down the route of taking the old belts into the shop and comparing lengths. I can get them but just a heads up on stories I have heard.

I priced a timing belt/tensioner kit on ebay.... £50 if I remember right.....have a check

Hi Dougie,

Well done for getting a Red one, Best colour by Far, ...........notice you've got a towbar just take a look at the right hand side of the backbox and see If it's almost touching the towbar side plates.

Mine did when I had one fitted, I just cut a walking stick ferrell down and put it over a nut, your towbar might be different to the one i had fitted,

Just lie down on your back and move backbox from side to side to see if it can knock it, watch your eyes dont get crap in them;)
