Back to the garage

Just dropped my car off at the garage again. It was in last week getting the drive belts done. It also needed a rubber mount which they couldnt get delivered in time. So Its getting fitted today. I can notice a difference since the belts were done. The guy at the garage told me today that one was out by 1 tooth and another by 2. I have hardly driven it since I got it back due to the mount needding replaced. So looking forward to getting it back today \nd going for a nice drive

I find that hard to believe, 1 tooth and 2 teeth out, so it's been like that since new? Surely it wouldn't run too well no matter how much the ecu adapted itself....................site experts please chip in!

I bet you can't wait to have a play

Just back with it Its running a lot smoother. I did have a slightly lumpy idle before. Which I did think was strange for a V6. Seems like a bit more poke too Need to fit new caf to really see how it is. I removed the old one that went to the n/s spotlight hole. So atm the filters at the end of the TB drawing in lots of hotair.

The guy was very helpful, had a good natter about MGR. I will def take my car back to them, I feel happier knowing they were MGR dealers for many years

funny you should mention that. Just spent an hour in the garage again. Took my little girl out for a while and after about a mile I was getting bad vibrations whenever I went round a left handed corner.They have now fixed it but I am not too happy considering it was taken for a test drive before I got it back.

I assume that this is the second cam belt change that has been done on the car. Having recently watched one of our engineers doing a belt change on the KV6 I can see why your engine was probably mis-timed on the rear belts. It is very easy to do if you don't know what you're doing!
