Post by goodeggbob »

hello all,take a look at ebay item 3627 2677 4306. the ad says new cambelt, and just out of curiousity i messaged the seller thinking they meant fan belt.

Forget it.

Without a new power steering pump it's worthless.

Ooohh! Where can I get one; mine's not been changed!

OK, Rob knows how mechanically skilled I am, but for the record, I am kidding :thumright:

I just asked what engine this thing has in it. I mean if it's got a cam belt it's definitely an 8 litre V12 right?
