Re: Cambelt change

That's what I thought too, but the engine number is covered by the Ivor Searle sticker with their reference on. That's why I've emailed them, to try and find out the donor engine number without having to remove their sticker. If I don't get a response I will probably try and remove the sticker, but ...

Re: Cambelt change

Thanks RobboMC. The 26mm belt is on order. It is a manual tensioner that is on the car atm.

I have ema...

Before I even think about starting the engine after such a long hibernation, I want to change the cam belt, tensioner and water pump. I did initially make inquiries (through their websites) of a couple of MG Rover specialis...
