Help! Quick question - does this look right? - DaveEdin - 27-03-2018
Hi guys,
Just had the car serviced and the timing belt replaced :thumbup:
Now I'm no mechanic (heck, I don't even know if the belt in the picture IS the timing belt or not) but I stuck my head under the bonnet today to try and fit the HIDs I bought off Ed last month, and saw this...
![[Image: IMAG0205.jpg]](http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/ad36/daveplank/IMAG0205.jpg)
Now it looks like the belt isn't on correctly? I'd have thought it should sit fully on the cog/pulley/thingy but appears to not be doing so?
Question 1 - Does this look right?
Question 2 - Am I ok driving like this?
Question 3 - Can someone explain exactly how I fit the darn HIDS - I must be a numpty cos everyone else can do it just fine! :cursing: Can't find a walkthrough or instructions either... :blushing:
Thanks in advance for any help!
Dave

Is it the timing belt then Rabs? :confused: And should I be driving with it like this?

the belt might slip off if your driving it you can move it your self fairly easilycant think what the part is off the top of my head though lol

Cheers - worried it might not have been proper tight if I had to try and push/slip it onto the wheel properly, in case it started slipping or something...
I'll go back out and see if I can get it on right then...

it may slip but you can adjust that with the bolt in the right of the picture undo that re tension and do up again

Yeah I don't have a clue about this stuff either but it definitely shouldn't be sitting like that!
