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

 

If in doubt, fit new.

For what it costs for a new belt, I would get a new one. How have you managed to fuck the water pump up on a car that you can't drive cos you have no liscence?

P.S Timing only has 1 'M'!

 

i think the erst timing belt is meant to have 97 teeth so get counting

 

DazC, Took it out the other day an noticed it was leaking

Tomdom, fook that new belt it is

 

Yep would say a new belt, you'll kick yourself if it snaps and costs you ten times what a belt would have cost.

Sell the other belt on ebay, they'll buy anything on there, someone sold a cornflake for £1.29 the other day

 

well got new belt and water pump today for £34

cheeRS lads, your right not worth it

 

cant believe u were thinking of using it dave
youll give us scots a bad name for being tight
