leighk18 · 19th January 2010, 12:06

next update altanator belt has now snapped again this is too its broke now so not good

auds · 19th January 2010, 13:51

Good one with the exhaust, bet you're glad that's on

not so good news about the belt though, how come it keeps breaking, is it too tight or something?

leighk18 · 19th January 2010, 14:16

well exhaust still needs fixing on bit better blowing from the manifold but cant be ased jacked it up need some better fitting bolts to hold it toghter

and for belts no idea this was brand new off a mate and today jsut lost power streeing etc and was like wtf poped the bonnet and no belt haha found the belt half way down the lane

leighk18 · 20th January 2010, 14:32

well over the last few weeks have noticed the sun roof has been looking so following the guide today i pulled off the headling and well here is what i found

bad times

and then the next few pics mite explain why its been leaking so much and the headlineing is damp all over but socking wet on the right side wounder why.....

and here is a pic of the alt belt i manged to find after it come off the alt in the road

auds · 20th January 2010, 14:42

Shit!!! that's not good is it, my sunroof leaked a little last year from the handle, so fitted a new one, and it gathers a lot of moisture in there I noticed, but unfortunately yours looks more than that

Can't believe that alternator belt too, why on earth has it gone like that, maybe it's the wrong kind and didnt fit right, too loose?

Good luck with getting those sorted though

feel for ya

leighk18 · 20th January 2010, 18:24

yup no idea what going to do with the sunroof now still need to check the drain pipes but think its more to do with the rust spot as in were the water is coming from

and for the belt think my mate mite no of lined it u proper and has been rubbing and then pulled it self off so will have to make sure there is not another problem before fitting a new belt

leighk18 · 22nd January 2010, 11:05

s3tre2003 · 22nd January 2010, 11:17

leighk18 · 25th January 2010, 17:16

well today i went out and pocked around at the rust today on the sunroof and well found a hole about the size of a 50p so after trying all sorts of things to cover the hole i lucky found a rubber grommet in my odds and sods box so pushed this into the hole and coverd with sealeant and tomoz will give it another going over in sealent and hope it works if not its got to be a new sun roof job

bad times well here is some pics
