P38 4.6 Serpentine belt
« on: May 25, 2007, 20:51:54 »
Noticed a few tiny cracks on my drive belt so have ordered another one to be safe
Any pointers on how to change them - ie anything I should look out for before starting   :wink:
Thanks in advance........................................

Make a note of the route it takes, looks simple till you get it off  :roll:

Long spanner need for the tension wheel and 15 minutes the job should be done..  :wink:

ISTR that getting it out (and the new one back in) through the space between the pulleys takes a little patience.  

Trivial job, though, in as much as anything LR related is trivial.
