Cheers, I have ordered the Dorman pulley and the belt you mentioned earlier. But it will take a while to get to me down on my island at the bottom of the planet.
Seems really weird for Sprintex to tell us to put that shim in. I can’t understand why you’d ever want to space the belt out.

On the upside I drove it to work today and no issues. Except I can’t seem to get all the 2200mls of coolant into the reservoir. I’ve massaged the lines I can get to.. run the car etc but I still have about 700ml to go. Is there some trick to getting all the air out of the system?
