Shop around, I'm getting prices various, from $30 to over $130 for Dayco. Gates is cheaper.

Have you already removed the belt? As another trick to make replacement easier it to slit the old belt in half and pull the front half off the pulleys then slide the new one on , then push the old one off the back off the pulleys and just cut it to get it out.

Great idea Randy, it hasn't all abandoned its post. That will make life better. What won't make life better is the ribbing I'll cop when the Pajero, yet again, fetches Land Rover bits.

That is appalling, rather take public transport as it is only 50c, and avoid the embarrassment.

Another good point, that will only add another day to my arrival home. Also, my GoCard is at home.

The Dayco 7PK1870 belt also fits a V10 Dodge Viper, but if you're remote, I doubt you'd find a Dodge dealer..... maybe nly dodgy ones.....

the 1870 is ACE vehicles.

non ACE needs the 7PK1800 version. They can be harder to find at 'any' store.
