Hi Mike, The genuine timing belt kit which include the tensions and idle pully I bought from Keypart Ltd for 156.70 UKP. I think it’s prudent to change the pulley’s for that small amount given the cos

Hi Everyone (again) There is one piece of rope that I can't find a use for. Can anyone shed some light on it? Den and Julie Aventura Amel 54 - 113
