Hi Tim,

The belts and tensioners were done less than 10,000 miles ago, so we're good for a little while yet.
It's actually not that big a job on a 308, as you rightly say, they can be done through the right rear wheel arch.
The whole engine and gearbox was rebuilt at the same time. The body and chassis appears to have been thoroughly Waxoyl'd from new and is in really solid and original condition. The bottoms of the doors and sills are as good as new and the edges of the wheel arches are not far off either.
There is a small blemish on the rear edge of the passenger door and the rear valance above the exhausts could do with being looked at, but other than that, it's all good and drives beautifully.
Paul
