The front belt isn't too bad, just time consuming.
The rear belt that runs the injection pump is a right laugh.

Yeah the front belt would be fine, the rear belt on the other hand !! New cars are just getting harder and harder to work on. Not just landies.

Covered my chassis with 5ltr of old engine oil today
Shame it was at 50mph
Bloody cyclone filter cover came off somehow ??? I noticed before the loght came on though so cant be too bad. Fixed it and filled back up and seems to be fine ....
Time will tell

Had a play tonight with wheels. I had a hunch our D4 alloys would fit my D2
And they do !!
And it looks awesome 
Shame my disco alloys dont fit over the D2 brakes
Which got me thinking ... if the wheels fit and the stud pattern is the same... will the brakes fit ? As this would be a preety awesome brake upgrade
Well ths discs fit on the bolts and are a assive improvement over the D2 brakes and you can see here how much bigger the carriers are and so how much bigger the brakes are
Couple of problems though the disk sits over the bolts fine but isnt a tight fit on the centre this can be overcome with a spacer though
And because the D2 disc has a deeper dish there is a gap between the bolt holes for the carrier and the D4 carrier
This could be a bonus for a fitting kit though as the holes dont line up between the carrier and the D2 holes due to the size differnce so an adater can be made to make it fit.
I don't know if it would be a cost effective or overly useful mod but there must be applications for increased braking performance ?
I wonder what D3 brakes are like in comparison ?? Hmmmm
And they do !!

Changed my front pads anyway as they were abit low
Had the other side off last week when we did new brake lines to the back and they looked fine so never looked too closely at this side but they weren't as good as the N/s so both fronts have been changed
1 less thing to do before morroco
