Ouch mate

Yes ouch to say the very least!

It wasnt the belt that went it was an internal fault in the engine etc.

I did a whole thread of it on here and it's all in my progress thread too. Ruk sorted out 80% of the total cost (6k). Guess the plus side is I got a brand new engine fitted on the cheap if you like

Still an expense I could of done without.......but 80% off a brand new lump aint bad!

Pretty sure the 182 needed its belts doing at 36k mate. That's possibly why you though this.
