Hi Guys

How long a life span should the primary drive belt have on a RRS V8 4.2 supercharged? I'm getting a vibration knock when idling about 650rpm
and hydraulic level in reservoir is jumping around a bit. RRS done 42000 miles, reg in 2006, so probably never had a belt changed.
If belt needs changing, do you have to do the secondary as well?
Any info much appreciated

Also cured the HDC System fault message by buying and fitting a new battery.

Thanks

Roger

look in the manual, it should state the service life of the belts

Hate to point to another forum, but RRSPORT.CO.UK • Index might be of further help!

If in doubt, swap it out.
