smith Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Cheers H I know how you feel. I finally got my daily (ish) drive back after 4 weeks off the road and was using the Manta as and when. It turns out the van's cam belt tensioner was dodgy which caused the belt to slip. It's a V6 which could have made matters worse. I don't think it caused any major damage, though time will tell I guess. All the best Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
