Hi Simon. I measured the two belts very carefully and the original belt was one and a quarter inches longer. It literally fell off the pulleys/sprockets as soon as I released the tensioner. i reckon my brother was a very lucky man! I have to admit that replacing the exhaust cam cap seals is the most difficult part of this job. I think it is made more difficult because the engine moves away from you as soon as you start to squeeze them in. Perhaps one should wait until the engine mount has been replaced but access is probably very difficult then.
