ouch.. seen it so many times before :sad:

what size pulley was he running, and how many miles since last rebuild ?

i know mine is about due, but it'll probably only do another 200 miles or so until i take the car off the road over winter when strange things will happen under the bonnet :huh:

Ok i give in, you keep saying strange things are going to happen under the bonnet. Are you gonna tell us or just keep up guessing? Hamster wheel in place of the charger? With mutant strong hamsers with thighs like rambo?

:lipsrsealed: (havent actually decided on a final plan yet tbh :grin: )

by the way clair, jv's mate nick might still have a spare 'charger available if Ian needs one sharpish to get him back on the road .. assuming there was no other engine damage.

He has ordered a new charger form carteck

It was running a standard pully it, he was rebulit when he first got the car 4 years ago, I know he has done loads of miles on it, def got his moneys worth out of it, he uses it as a everyday driver.

Tim just seen ur PM Ian has a copy of it, I'll ask him for you
