Hi Derek. It was indeed in CM mag May 2001 and Peter Simpson the editor used the method on a Volvo. He may have had the idea from yours truly a year or two earlier I remember the controversy and reply letters in the following months. I certainly would not have expected a collage student to attempt it, but having been a race mechanic and like a good few of the drivers had our brains surgically removed, thought it was a good idea at the time. Peter though backed me up and went one better he did it. Having said that he took the cowards way out and just turned the engine over by hand too cut the belt. Buddy L just think how many laps we would have been behind. Regards Dek
