Year 2000 MR S. Have fitted new pole/drive belt to existing motor, but wont retract completely, leaving 2 inches outstanding. Original toothed drive belt snapped, has anyone done similar please?
Suggestions welcome, thanks. Midengine
PS pre-cats done on this car before I bought it 2 years ago, but not in time, complete new block etc etc. Anyone risking it, dont!! It is like new now though.

Sorry to hear about the engine problem but it is a misconception that removing pre-cats will stop the early design engines from failing. [url="http://toyotaownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=86111&view=findpost&p=790158"][b][color="#0000FF"]CLICKY[/color][/b][/url]

Hello, Thanks for your interest, I have solved the non-retracting aerial as a result!
Re pre-cats, I know this is controversial. I can only say mine is "the other side" of the pre-cat issue. That is, engine failure over 2 years ago, new block, pistons etc etc pre cats removed, and 2 years further on, engine is as new. No oil consumption, maximum performance and mpg.
I am assured by a "specialist" engineer it wont recur now the cats are removed. Only time will tell?
many thanks again and best wishes
