Timing belt cover
« on: 20 August 2010, 10:41:52 »
Hello - does anyone have a spare Timing belt cover for a 3.0? Mines got a big crack where I assume removal had been attempted with the idler in place (Gaffers will know why!). Currently taped up!
Please move to parts wanted if appropriate, I just can't post in there  :y

I assume its the later 5 bolt one given the vehicle age (the earlier ones had four bolts)

I reckon this is why mine is cracked, someone missed the '5th' bolt and tried getting it off before realising!!

Guess I will have to wait until a 5 bolt one the same as mine comes up. (would a 4 bolt non symetric holed one do? (since mine doesn't have a bolt in the 5th hole anyway!))
