Oh and if anyone is looking for any Milwaukee bits, Powertool Mate have got some deals on.
The website is properly slow though with the amount of traffic.
I've tried it and it's a bit fussy as you say, they need cleaning well.
Seems to take ages to dry for me as well. Wasn't very keen on it.

Ahh ok.
It's possible it could have moved over time. I'm not sure how much the belt is likely to stretch over time.
It would have ran ok as it was tbh, most people wouldn't be able to tell with typical rough idle that they have at the best of times.
Yeah, the pulleys are floating so once you undo them the cams a free to move and they usually do a small amount (which is probably what you're seeing).
If you wanted to check the original timing of the old belt, you could have left the pulleys as they were and just tried slotting the horseshoe...
Gutted mate.
I went with a new one from Renault Wolverhampton on eBay and it's been fine for over 2 years.
Have you got the plastic guard behind the front grille? It protects the alternator, especially from water.
