Well my alternator belt has been twittering for a while with occasional screech so I thought "I'd better tighten that". So I duly took the engine cover off today to find..... the top bolt has done a runner! Presumably I just need a M10 x 100 bolt and nut to replace it? That's what the parts say on Rimmers anyway!

That's what it looks like Rimmers' site says but our own EPC here suggests that the top bolt (5) is M10 x 90. Although there is a second bolt (

that is M10 x 100 which has the same code as Rimmers top bolt. Confusing!

Might be safer to go with the M10 x 100. Better to be too long than too short!
