Yeah that is true. The loudness is directly related to how tight the belt is, mine is loud, but not overly. I doubt I will have trouble.

Yeah, ive been looking at the ones on ebay too.
Any brands in particular to watch out for? Or they all pretty much the same?
Did you put them on yourself? Was it just a direct swap of the pulleys, very easy?
Cheers.

Cant imagine there would be any trouble with Ebay ones, I bought mine through Performance World Auto Centre in Brissy. Ive had no trouble with mine, so if they can post to you, I would recommend going through them.
I fitted them myself, it was quite easy, however being a mechanic I had access to my own tools etc. I had to fit an electric fan for clearance, the crank and Alternator pulleys just basically unbolt, and the new ones go straight on. I did loose use of my A/C, which didnt concern me, and I had to space my P/S pump forward about 1 inch, as the replacement P/S pulley bolts to the front of the Gilmer Crank Pulley. That caused a few troubles, but once I got the spacing correct it was all good. I did need to move my charcoal canister, and I need to move my battery to the boot, and put the canister in its place. It rubs very slightly on the P/S pump pulley. Other then that, its all good!
I do recommend buying a replacement belt, as its not something you can buy from Repco etc. I havent had trouble, but belts don't last forever!
When I get home, I will film it with the engine running so you can have a listen for yourselves. I wont be home until Friday the 16th November though, unfortunatly :cry:
