paul mac Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Good effort, do like a bit of weight saving, mine will come off when it eventually packs up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Nice one, I reused the pump case as a bracket for the PS, but ditched the pulley & got the shorter belt, it wasn't much IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Reid Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I dont see why you wouldn't buy a shorter belt. £15.00 from halfords I can provide the number for you if you wanted. It's probably cheaper from a proper motor factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Hmmm, I do wonder if this is worth doing as a quick job before pod? I am tempted. Got the part number handy? (Matrix is already out, so it just the pump and front plumbing to remove) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 good work, nice bit of weight saved. i considered doing it to mine recenly but this warm weather made me realise how much i love my air con!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I have never used aircon no matter how hot it is, I like the windows down approach to cooling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably cheaper from a proper motor factor Hi David I actually thought a new belt was more expensive? 15£ is a good price. Can I get the part nr.?
