All finished!
Well here is my old belt
As you can see its not actually that bad, it probably would have been fine for a bit longer, BUT this wont mean that yours will be the same. I do a lot of motorway driving and am a very cautious driver - if your car has been stop start all the time tearing around everywhere then your belts will be in poorer shape.
My car now feels slightly better, not much in it maybe its more placebo effect - but its nice not hearing the noisy bearing at lower speeds when under load.
When i first started her i heard loud banging from the engine, i honestly thought i had done it wrong i had checked everything over 10x - what it was in my case was a bit of injector knock that quickly quietened and stopped - if you have done everything correctly then don't worry.
Hope that is helpful for some,
Roy
