Thanks T-Cut.
Greatly appreciated. In my working days, I was responsible for writing owners manuals for the farm machinery that we used to manufacture here in OZ. Our combine harvesters used to use timing belts to drive the two sickle knives of the thirty-four feet width cutting platform. We placed in bold capital letters that the belts must be replaced at four-year intervals. But then, farmers always considered themselves better mechanics than the machinery manufacturers! I wish Rover had stuck with the button in the fuel gauge that, when pressed, indicated the oil level in the engine's oil sump. Temperature gauges also gave you faithful information in those days. That dates me! Thanks again, Mike A. |

Diesel Camshaft
This 'throw away' remark has cheered me up no end! Having previously had a peugeot diesel where the belt had to be changed every 70k, I was getting twitchy about my R75 now recording 143k, even wondering if it had been done the first time (no mention in the servicing record). This now confirms that I don't need to worry about it and I was slightly puzzled by the fact that my copy of the Maintenance check sheet noted above states that the 90k replacement is for Petrol models only. Yippee, I can concentrate on other things now. Thanks Colvert and of course Mike in Aus who started the thread
