Hi Steve, I have spend the last year trying to find replacement belts for the TPDD but without success.
I did dismantle one and sound the remains of the drive belt.... If your kind offer sf supplying me with a working drive still stands, I would very much like to accept. How much do you want and what will it cost to send it to the UK please? Many thanks, Julie Aylward -----Original Message----- From: M100 [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stephen Adolph Sent: 03 January 2015 17:34 To: Model 100 Discussion Subject: Re: [M100] Can someone help me please? Julie, does that Escort have a Crossflow 1600cc? I'd offer to read those discs for you but there is transit risk. If you want, I can supply a working TPDD. ..Steve On Sat, Jan 3, 2015 at 12:00 PM, Julie Aylward <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Gary, Fred, Steve and Chris, > > Many thanks for your kind replies.
