As a post script to this thread I finally made it over to my mate's at Solihull today for the belt change at last. The ones on the bike were OK but just starting to fray. It's just as well I didn't try to do this myself as one of the tensioner bolts on the horizontal pot was corroded in and the allen head was rounded.. My mate had to have to goes at welding on a nut / bolt to be able to use enough force to undo it. Bearings are OK on the tensioners but a bit of dressing to corrosion spots on the pulleys was necessary. Had a lovely 25 mile ride home on the M42 in the rain to be met by snow on the ground when I got home.The forecast was cold and dry (not).
