Changed that back in June 2016 ,same time as waterpump ,and the belts ,Now back then the only main belt i could get was britprrrattt.Others out o stock, Thought how bad can it be ,You should see it .....3 years n its in bits...The one that came off was in better nick and its been kicking about for 3 years and it came off the beast,so who knows how old it is,There a lesson here some where,....
