You don't, so change it asap...... it not only means the belt is done, but gives you the opportunity to check the oil seals and idler condition......

Cheers mate, just watch your gearbox, very fragile in my experience/opinion. Enjoy your scoob, mines still a grin a minute.

Unhappy

Cry for a little while then get another one unless you've got deep pockets. Mine rattles, I'm trying to ignore it.
