A mobile mechanic to remove the failed auxiliary belt behind the crank pulley put a big spanner on the pulley and wound it backwards. The BMW 320 had been running ok with out the belts before but after would not start. Talking to my garage they say a write off yet only done 120 k and regularly returned nearly 50 mpg. Do you think garage right as so sad to loose. My present motor is a V6 of same vintage returning half the mpg.
