First off, apologies if you're dyslexic, but if you're not, can you try a bit of punctuation, spelling and grammar as it would make your posts much easier to understand. Sorry to sound like a grumpy git, but I'm a grumpy git so that's how it comes across. Also, telling us what engine your vehicle has would be a real help. So, on with your problems: First off, do you know the drive belt is the wrong size, or are you assuming that because it's squealing it must be wrong? Tensioning the belt (either by the belt tensioner or by adjusting the alternator or whatever the method is in your engine) could solve it. If the belt is worn, or really is wrong, then fitting a new one isn't a difficult job assuming you have a basic knowledge of how to wave a spanner. The clutch - I thought the system was a "sealed for life" system and as such you had to replace the whole thing (master, pipe & slave), if you've managed to buy just a slave cylinder I guess it's not!

Lol sory for the grammer, i am not a very good speller lol its not my fault i just never stuck in a school Yes the belt is the wrong belt i have taken it of and it was a belt for a non air con freelander, the belts for aircon have 1 more thread on the belt, i maniged to fit a new one no problem they have automatic tensioners so i did not have to bother altering it, now the squeling has just goten a bit quite, but is still there when at high revs any ideas?? as for the master slave cylinder yes i did mean the whole system as they do come as a compleat kit, my question was has any one got a guide on fitting them are they hard to fit? is there any bleeding involved like with braklines? any help would be much appriceated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
