Going to look at the drive/compressor belt tomorrow if the rain holds off!
If it's a bit slack is it easy to adjust? There doesn't seem to be loads of room under the bonnet.
Or if it's looking tired is it easy to replace, do I need to move anything out of the way?
ECP have got Continental belts, they ok or any others recommended?
Thanks.

It is easy enough to adjust. Continental belt fine, though I am sure others will tell you otherwise.

Continental belts gave me sleepless nights when I was engineering manager in an automated Pharmaceutical distribution warehouse that had many hundreds of them fitted to conveyors by the cheapskate who installed them - not a matter of if they were going to break but when (normally at the worst possible time during peak order picking run) in the end I introduced a rolling program to replace the Continetaaal belts during less busy times. Gates are much better, cost a bit more but they last well over 100.000 miles on a Jazz anyway so not the worst money you will ever spend (Our local Honda told me there is no set replacement period or mileage, just a visual check for cracking or fraying) - continentaaal tyres are not that good, but they certainly know how to advertise though...

Ok, I'll try and get a gates belt from a factors.
Can anyone advise on how to adjust the belt and remove to replace if necessary please, do I need to move anything to get access?
It's handy with the golf as there are help guides with photos!!

Many thanks.
