    My lucky day !

    For the last few months I've developed a very slight rattle coming from low down at the front of the engine. Its been very difficult to diagnose although it went a lot quieter when I replaced the alternator.

    Well today I found out what the rattle was
    Pulley sheared off the alternator and took 2/3 of my engine plastics with it ! Not too mention some sizeable dents in top and bottom pulley wheels and fubered tensioner roller ! Picked lots of plastic and debris out from round the cambelt and drove home

    ...........and somewhere deep in there lurks a 1" long bolts sheared off one of the covers !!

    Here's some pics and if anyone has some parts to fix this pm me.
    You wont get a reply for a week though because I'm off to the south of France tonight







    For what this cost me so far I could have bought an S2

          I'm going to a place called Bagnois-sur-ceze.
          It's about 100 miles south of Lyon.

            I've had a little peek at this today and this is what I think I need.
            Cambelt covers. Left & Right bank inner and outer covers
            Central cover (plastic) Front not top
            Bottom pulley (big one at bottom, power steering ?) I think this is 2.8 V6 specific
            Top pulley
            Tensioner/Roller (to the right in first pic)

            I have a spare Alternator so I will send this off for a complete refurb and will get a new aux belt from the stealers.
            Please pm me with your best price if you have these parts
