Help fitting reduced pulley and belt

[Dobboy]

Do you have any recommendations of good garages/people in Scotland?

Think I will stick to the 17% then! Thanks guys

No sorry I don't, I usually do the work myself.

Aye you won't go far wrong with 17%.

If you decide to do it yourself it might be worth considering biting the bullet and servicing the charger.

Maybe someone on here local to you will volunteer if you don't fancy doing it, I could loan you the charger belt tension tool, but I borrowed the puller when I done mine.

Wouldn't fancy doing mine? Hahahaha.

Ye that's a good point. What's the cost and work involved like in servicing the supercharger?

There's a service kit on ebay that isn't dear. The problem is, there's two oil reservoirs on the supercharger. One you can get to in situ. The other, you need to remove the supercharger. Which means taking the radiator off etc.

Not difficult as such, just time consuming

Ah ok. I will have a look at the service kit then. Would probably need someone with more know how than me to attempt that haha

I maybe would as I'm gonna be changing one on a 2nd mini I bought recently, or we could do the two cars together at mines, you get the sleeves rolled up and I'd keep you right.

Problem is I'm miles away and just had an operation on a ligament in my thumb which means I'll not be doing any tinkering for a couple of months, and we'd need to do them on the driveway/under a big gazebo, which is ok if you're wrapped up.

I could ask my pal in East Kilbride if he'd do it for you sooner if you want? Me and him done our last ones together and he's a very good with cars.

Unless someone on here volunteers.

I'm more than happy to get involved and give it a go as I like playing about with it and doing as much as I can myself, but it's more confidence with something like that!

Ye that's cool, don't worry I'm used to being freezing cold and wet. Nothing new for me there haha. How far are you from Angus?

Ye that could be an option as I was hoping to get it done fairly soon if possible. He'd be about 2 hours from me, so wouldn't be a massive problem if we could get the pulley and maybe the supercharger done in a day?

Hopefully someone near me may pop up! Ha

Bump

Just wondering if anyone could recommend a garage/member who could do the work?

Thanks
