Right need to change the timming belt on my ERST as im doing the water pump so may aswell do it while its off, BUT ive got a brand new timming belt that was for an XR2 that never got used, left in the box in a drawer for bout 4-5 yrs

will this be useless now or will it be ok to use? also assuming an XR2 belt will be ok to use on an ERST
