Wow with shock I looked deeper into the engine bay of my new td Jack.
Just looking about in there trying to see what did what.
Well I worked out some of it I think.
I looked deeper, I thought okay I don't want to be stuck at the back of Wanarring with a broken alternator belt. Right so how do I replace that.
Wow it has two, right how to access the belts for replacement?
Man what a tangle of junk is in there.
How the hell do I get at it? is there some new trick?
I thought long and hard about my skills. I have changed belts on Landrover, Cruisers and holden sedans even on my little beetle all those years ago. (Generator)
But how the hell do I attack it on the new Jack HELP...where do I start?
The owners hand book is great for how to turn the lights on but nothing else.
Where do I start and what adjusts what/put tension on what loosen what?
Has anyone changed a belt on a 2001 td Jackaroo I'm feeling extended...

Lift the bonnet again and take note of the caps and handles marked in yellow,usually the oil filler hole.dipstick,radiator overflow,windscreen washerbottle?
These are all the things vehicle manufacturers now allow us to play with,for anything else a degree in mechanical engineering is now required.
No more

Yes okay boys and girls, I must learn to keep my hands to myself but its hard trying to think that way after years of having to do just very basic stuff.
Its so hard to get my head around it. for years I always had old water hoses, belts and a bag of tools.
Didn't need them much but did have them just in case.
What have a done!
Thanx for being patient, it must be the world of repair by replacement.
Or just many years of having older vehicles. I even miss the points on my Landrover now.
regards Steve.
