Easy enough on V6.

Dealers will be shut, so motor factors I'm afraid.

jeez just replaced mine on a 2.5 and it was immaculate, but I have owned it from 4 years old. Have you had antifreeze / corrosion inhibitor in it all the time. Don't suppose you know if it is the original?

Hope you gave it a good flush. There's a lot of crap missing from there.

All the idlers and rollers are spotless and the belt "LOOKS" new

The guy who had it before me was diabetic, so was on dialasis and lost 1/2his foot so it was sitting on his drive for almost 9 months, he just started it to keep it lub'd on the top end. :y
