Sorry to here this, where abouts are you as I know you travel to Kent. I have a timing belt if you need one quick.

 

Paul

im in hailsham east sussex

so stuck at home at the moment

need to find where i can get one from down this way

yeah am really hoping valves are ok

how far is that from Medway.

about 50 miles

i work from city estate and it takes an hour and a half to get there

will get back to you in the morning.

 

Paul

ok thanks paul

hi bud IIRC you got an auto gearbox which means you should be ok as the drive disengages almost instantly when belts snap and you can often aviod valves getting bent....i've done a cambelt change give me a buzz and i'll try and pop over to assess the damage/help

 

cheers

chris

how much for your belt paul?

All I want you to do is replace it with a genuine nissan belt and some help with petrol.

Paul

thats why we join this club. because of all the great people on here

Great 2 hear help is at hand for u mate. hope ur back on the tarmac soon. Just redone my belt as it slipped a tooth or two recently. Not 2 hard a job and sure the engine is ok. Great lads and gurls on here and always 2 happy 2 help.

well i have managed to get the covers off now. But the belt seems intact(as far as i can tell)but i cant spin engine over to see if it is turning as 6 hours with hazard lights flashing last night has killed the battery!!

the bloke from the AA(the first 1 that came) looked in through oil filler when i spun it over and he told mr belt had gone.

 

now im not so sure

Turn the crank with a spanner or socket set, if the top half moves as well its still connected, if its stripped the teeth or broken at the bottom it can still look ok from above.

could have taken the teeth off but the belt would look ok from the top!

cheers ill have a look see

well had a look and guess what??

 

 

haven't got socket or spanner big enough to fit crank nut!!!

 

its enough to drive you mad! :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal

DO NOT spin it over on a battery. if theres a valve stuck down if the belt has gone, theres a high probability it WILL bend a valve if not already done so. always check it by hand, IE socket/spanner, then theres no risk involved.

thanks paul for bringing that belt down. i am very greatful.

and your car looks even better close up

Its threads like this that are nice to read, folks going out of their way to help.

Thats what make the club what it is. Im not that far from you mate, and am always popping to Uno's, if you get stuck just ask.
