There are two easy ways to kill a perfectly good car, one is to let it run out of oil, the other is to fail to change a cambelt.

 

Changing a cambelt incorrectly kills more than not changing it ?

[sepulchrave]

I would have thought the damage from one would be indistinguishable from the damage from the other.

 

Semantics. B)

[mumof4]

Actually, it wasnt self inflicted injuries.. i will take a pic of the belt tomorrow and post it here. You will see, that apart from it being stripped along one edge and where it snapped, it looks brand new. A pulley failed, and that was not down to me. The belt was changed just before i bought it as i found the sellers tel number and called him to ask.

 

This one, will be having the belt done. And you can tell if a belt has been fitted incorrectly by how it is shredded or snapped, and also the condition of the rest of the belt.

 

cyborg.. i never asked you to post that pic.. i told you not to, and that if you did.. youd find you wouldnt be able to post for a few days! B)

 

shes lovely... wont take long to put her right. ;)

Well he would say that considering it now kaput. B)

 

Personally, when i buy a car, the first thing that gets done is a full service including all belts (and tensioners) unless you have documented proof from a main dealer (or reputable garage) that it has been done according to the schedule. So, if anything goes wrong, you can take them all the way.

But since MO4 bought a second-hand car from Joe Bloggs then i would take his word with a pinch of salt.
