Main belt is all good, it's just blet b that has shredded. Wouldn't have thought anything wrong if it didn't start running hot. Managed to stop before boiling off any water, just miffed at the fact seem to be fixing it every weekend, cost is starting to mount and wondering when it best to just dig the big hole and let her rip?

Didn't help that when turbo went the following day got knocked of my bike and driver didn't stop, police were good but couldn't do anything as didn't get the number plate, and to top it didn't gave helmet cam on either, that was another £100 in parts I could have done without. Rant over

Glad you're ok mate - bike can be fixed easier than you! Belt B on it's own shouldn't make it overheat (perhaps if you were caning it), unless it has thrown the main belt out.

Waxoyl
Took a chance and bought the waxoyl spray kit and 5L. Used a bucket of hot water just to add to the already hot conditions added a small amount of white spirit and then soaked under the truck. It worked really well (wow), I used the full 5L and could have done with a couple more to drown it.
I was impressed with the kit despite bad reviews, I think it's just down to getting the waxoyl hot enough to get it fluid enough to flow.
It also took me about an hour in the shower to clean me off, wow that stuff goes everywhere lol.

Topped up the vital fluids this morning and freed off the front diff actuator, also added some more silicone to the centre bearing bodge that is holding up very well at the moment
