GBMUD Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Mmm, fair enough. Mine did a belt in a year - nothing like 10000 miles though. When I replaced it I found that it was due to water ingress (no water there by the time I changed it) caused by a poor seal on the crankshaft damper allowing water in.

moose Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 The reason for failure of Rich's belt was water in the timing case. after he drove through that deep lake at Bunny lane we noticed oily water leaking from the bottom of the timing gasket took the wading pug out to release about a pint of water. The belt went two hours later, we think that after emptying out the water the heat from the engine dried it out quickly with all the crud completely seizing the tensioner.

You could have got though the first one if you were a little more aggressive with the power and get it up and spinning which should be easy as you don't have to worry about blowing diffs..

I got bellied hands up you didn't get the revs above about 2000 and it sounded like it was struggling I still think if you gave it more welly you could have driven out.

Let's face it, I'm a slightly less aggressive driver than you Jules but I was in 3rd high box by the end and it wasn't going any faster - that mud was sloppy stuff and the tyres just didn't have the grip.
