Afternoon all.

This is cautionary tale....I have deefer 98 mod with 120 000kms, the aircon tensioner pulley bearing started rattling last week, so I chortled down to the bearing shop this morning and shelled out $14 for a new bearing, installed it and Bob's your aunty right?

Infact no, was on my way to the Gold Coast today, and the bearing on the bottom belt pulley disinagrated on the M1. Fortunately I had the previously removed bearing so a quick replacement on the side of the road and we were away.

I guess the moral of the story is....if you replace one, replace any others as well. For $14, its not a big cost to replace them every 100 000kms to save the embarassement of having thoses other 4WD types seeing a Landrover with its bonet up!

Happy motoring

Cheers

Ben
