Had to take the war offices scoob into APT today as the cam belt tentioners were sounding a bit rattley. When garry began to take off the covers we found the cam belt was only just hanging on & had started to wear through the covers. :o :o :( A few more miles & it could have been a lot more expensive :cry: .

Do you think the bonnet can close on the RS turbo?

On the subject of RS Turbos and cam belts :)

I had an RS a few years ago. Booked it in for a new water pump and belt. On the day it was due to go in, the bloody belt snapped. How UNlucky was that? :roll:

Well got the subaru back from APT. Garry found that one of the tentioner bolts had sheered off & the only thing holding the belt on was the lip on the bottom pulley and the covers :o :o :o ,still its a good job done & now the missus owes me some big favours :D :D :D
