Belts - a specialist job?
Hi everyone
Iv'e seen lots of posts about V6 belts since joining and lots of members seem to agree they should only be done by an MG/Rover specialist pr trader. Having recently been sifting through the receipts for Paul's MG I see it appears they were done by a classic car place and lastly by the garage that sold it. My black one appears to have been done by an ordinary garage too. So just wondering does it matter? Can a competant garage do them? Iv'e seen some members post they have done the task themselves? Or should I be worried? |

Any actual mechanic should be able to change belts properly.

I would change the word "actual" to "competent" and "knowledgeable".

If I really must change a word then I'll change actual to qualified.

In these modern times , I think I prefer competent and knowledgeable
"qualified" is a rather vague term these days

that's a classic 'All the gear - no idea' Look at the state of that studding holing the nitrous spacer plate on! They should be ashamed!

I should have known a nine word sentence that was utterly without refutable content would still lead to the need for people to have a pop when I write it. Okay, any competent and knowledegable mechanic should be able to change the belts correctly. Is that the ''right'' answer? |
