Evening all

Hope all is well

Last March I had the belt done on the TD4, whilst checking something else today I noticed the belt is cracked everywhere and requires changing immediately

What is the best manufacture belt available at present? and I have no idea why the current belt is in the state it is ffs

Cheers all

Seems like we can't make rubber type products anymore. My steering gaiters lasted 9 months or less, door seals crack up, bushes break out from mounts.

I'd go with an LR belt due to the inconvenience of it breaking and also the grief of changing it. My LR one has done 200k miles now.
