Slipping belt!

 

Is it making the jolting at the extremes of eack lock? Defo the belt if it is.....

 

You'll have to get on all 4s and tighten it up!

no it makes the jolting all the time, at the extreme of the lock it rubs on the arch slightly but that never bothered me, will it just need tightening or could it need replacing?

if your belt is slipping and has been for a while, it's worth changing it for a new one, especially if you don't know when it was last changed... they're not expensive though, so it's worth doing it for the peace of mind... 8)
