Cambelt (and radio) Question

[Tamsin Nunley]

Hello, Beaters!


It's been a while - Hope i find you and your cars all in fine fettle!

A quick question about cambelts - does anyone know the tension/timing settings?
(Have searched around a bit with no luck, and my mechanic understandably doesn't want to put my new one in until he's quite sure of these settings, as he's not a beat specialist or owt.)

And one other thing - i have one of those tape things connecting my ipod thru to the stereo, and it worked very well til recently when the stereo has started jumping to fast-forward between tracks. Weird.
Does anyone know if this is a known fault of Beat Stereos when playing tapes?

Any help appreciated!

I seem to remember that you can hold the FF button to turn it off, its a blank skip function.

Search on here for radio manual, i think there is a manual somewhere.

a literal translation from the radio instruction manual.

using the BS button (top right)

When the tape DOTDT being less crowded " liking to hoist automatically? (i did say literal)

Blank skip switch: At each time you push display [BS] goes out illumination /. [BS] when lighting up when there is a non sound recording part of 10 seconds or more in the tape, fast forward is started automatically. This time display [BS] [>], [<] blinks, [F] lights up. When it reaches to the end of tape while advancing the automatic operation hoist, reversing, it plays back.

Thanks very much for the help with everything, guys!

Lee, now you mention it, i reckon i actually have the Japanese manual on CD somewhere, which makes me think the info could be on there....? I'll have a check before i start hassling you with PMs

That all sounds hopeful about the radio too - was thinking it was a bit of a goner! (enjoyed your 'literal' translation, too, Steve )

Will have a fiddle, and see what happens..

Thanks again!!
