    In that case, a white patent leather belt would be appropriate, along with a white patent leather hat.....wait a minute, PAP should be giving this advice!

    But it can also mean the bulb is good. On the newer F-cars it simply means you've just been hit with instant-on radar.

    Cut the red wire.




    No, the blue wire.



    No, perhaps it's the yellow wire?


    Oh crap. Better call Cloe at C.T.U. She'll have the schematics.

    Ummm, can we still have a thread on tensioners.

    That it was goes kaput first and then the belt breaks.

    Then the piston and valves are out of time as it is an iterference motor.

    Then the valves get bent (even if it nicks them they will not seat).

    That is if you are lucky. If you mash your pistons I have seen them torn all the way down to the block.

    Then you own a $40K paper weight.

    I have personally seen this happen. It was fugly !!!

    I think you can just get the belts chrome plated.

    It's not compulsory to read a thread - if you're not interested in the subject just skip it and go on to the next one. ;)
