You rang?

Oh, no. Sorry. Sheer space luck.

Yes, very lucky.

When I bought mine the belt had been done 30,000 k before. I did a fan bearing. When we pulled the timing cover off we found an idler had not been done properly, a gear bolt was over tight and the belt had been wearing against the timing cover. Basically it would not have made it the 70,000 k replace stage.


Thank you fan bearing gods.
