Many thanks for the suggestion about buying the parts and the very kind offer. I've had another look at it and I think I would struggle even with car ramps. I've helped change one on my son's Audi and I remember the tensioner needed a lot of force which I applied using an extension bar from the top while he put the belt on from underneath. Sadly on the Ducato there is zero access from the top without removing the header tank and power steering reservoir so it would all have to be done from underneath using one hand for the tensioner and another to put the belt on. I'm not going to attempt it as the risk of losing fingers is too high for my liking.You could try and source the parts, so if you find someone you are ready to go.
Shame I’m not there or I’d have done it for you.
Not yet and I might look at that but I'm slowly adjusting to enforced idleness and if we have to wait until 1 October it isn't the end of the world. We will probably hire a car for 5 days next week and go off exploring which will fill the time in usefully. We normally stay put in one place every weekend anyway so no change there.Did you do a search for a mobile mechanic ?
I think it’s an underneath, and through wheel arch job, and as mentioned may even be engine mount removal on the 3ltSadly on the Ducato there is zero access from the top without removing the header tank and power steering reservoir so it would all have to be done from underneath using one hand for the tensioner and another to put the belt on.

I'm partial to it when over there and I tried to get some in Tesco Redruth but when I asked the girl stocking the booze shelves if they had any Pastis she said they'd be with the pies and sausage rolls.It's a pre-mixed one and the first time I've had pastis.
I’m amazed that this is your first taste of pastis. I love it and, like so many drinks one has abroad, it never tastes as nice once home!Meanwhile, we are going native.
It's a pre-mixed one and the first time I've had pastis. First impressions were underwhelming, "like drinking cough mixture" was Mrs DBK's comment.
But with application it is beginning to grow on us...

We did add some ice cubes although the bottle was already chilled from the campsite shop. But my understanding is it isn't normally served chilled if you order it in a bar. Perhaps our pastis expert Ingwe can advise?Lovely with ice and some water.

My introduction to Pastis was at the age of 15 when I first went on the French exchange with school.We did add some ice cubes although the bottle was already chilled from the campsite shop. But my understanding is it isn't normally served chilled if you order it in a bar. Perhaps our pastis expert Ingwe can advise?
The pastis isn’t chilled but they serve it on the rocks with water.We did add some ice cubes although the bottle was already chilled from the campsite shop. But my understanding is it isn't normally served chilled if you order it in a bar. Perhaps our pastis expert Ingwe can advise?
B..... Game isn't it. I have made the decision if or when we get this lot with mine sorted I am never motorhomeing in France ever again.Not yet and I might look at that but I'm slowly adjusting to enforced idleness and if we have to wait until 1 October it isn't the end of the world.

When we were on our honeymoon in Greece we found a wine we really loved and drank it every night so we brought some home and it was foul, more like paint stripper. To get rid of it we would take a bottle to any parties we went to and discreetly hide it amongst other donated bottles.I’m amazed that this is your first taste of pastis. I love it and, like so many drinks one has abroad, it never tastes as nice once home!
I had exactly the same experience on one of my honeymoons with a botte of Metaxa that I brought home from Greece.When we were on our honeymoon in Greece we found a wine we really loved and drank it every night so we brought some home and it was foul, more like paint stripper.
