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'!

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
