Timing belt cover
20. Aug 2010 at 10:41
 
Hello - does anyone have a spare Timing belt cover for a 3.0? Mines got a big crack where I assume removal had been attempted with the idler in place (Gaffers will know why!). Currently taped up!
Please move to parts wanted if appropriate, I just can't post in there  Thumbs Up!

I reckon this is why mine is cracked, someone missed the '5th' bolt and tried getting it off before realising!!

Guess I will have to wait until a 5 bolt one the same as mine comes up. (would a 4 bolt non symetric holed one do? (since mine doesn't have a bolt in the 5th hole anyway!))
