Belts

Stumbled across this thread

http://forum.thedieselpage.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=002140

and wondered if it applies to cucv's. Ive put 20 odd thousand miles on my m1009 in the last 6 months and haven't had any problems. Mind you, now I've asked the question everything will probably go tits up. Please excuse the expression but its a common saying over here.

It applies, especially with respect to keeping them reasonably tight and using the brands mentioned, I only use the Dayco Top Cog belts, they have a great life, and last where others wouldn't.

Thanks for the reply John. Guess I'll go buy some belts just in case.

No problems yet (25K miles). no doubt now I've said that they'll fail.
