Twas the day for my fleet to test my patience today.
Whilst out in the Sport a van passed me and I thought " wow his brakes smell hot". After he had passed for some while I could still smell it. Stopped and drivers side front wheel was a tad on the boiling side. I guess that is the side effects of low mileage and then high usage.
Not to worry I thinks, use the G4. Started and reversed out, thought the steering feels heavy and oh look the battery light is on. Stopped and looked. Belt good, bottom crank pulley at strange angle and bolt undone by an inch !!
Now it had a cam belt done just before I got it. Anyway, popped belts off, took pulley off and the keyway on the crank sprocket had put a nice counterbore in the back of the pulley destroying the keyway. Fortunately my spares shop in the barn was open on Sunday and refitted with loctite and many kgf of tightness.
The old faithful TD4 is having a rest on SORN while I work out what to do with it so no cars left to drive this morning until pulley on the G4 and spare caliper fitted to the sport.
They know how to test your patience, luckily I had a couple of spare hours this afternoon and all good again.
