Having a look at my noisy fanbelts today after my 5000Km trip over the Strezlecki etc, and noticed that I had forotten to clip down the dizzy cap when I checked the centrifugal advance before leaving. I must have been distracted. The car went over every unimaginable bad track with only a few hiccups. But maybe thats why I had relatively poor economy LOL.
Unbelievable!!!
Also talk about luck, the main (front ) vbelt had cracks at about every third "cog". It was a Gates and its a miracle that it did not let go. Its not very old either.
Ah well, all new belts tomorrow.
