I'm sorry but I refuse to believe it had 24 missing teeth. And your alternator belt should be a perfect V btw, hence the name poly v belt...

its a 12v valve so it has a timing chain
so I presume he means the aux belt that runs the alternator and water pump that has the teeth missing so it was no biggy unless it snapped then the car could over heat without the water pump
but you would have the batt light on the dash to tell you something was wrong to start with

How do you know this? Judging by the pic in his avatar, they did'nt do an M reg 12v. Also if it has a V belt it is'nt a 12v either.

I'm still confused as to how it ran though.

????? says its a 12v in the other post
