EDIT: Woah! Stu at Exact posted my belts already...an hour after ordering! Hows that for service
Depending on how it has been stored, the years can take their toll on the tubing and coupled with Ethanol spiked fuel so, unfortunately can the diaphragms in the pumps.

They're not bad to do but I know it all adds up and once you start down that road.......



This was part of a refresh I did a few years ago:



Totally agree with you about the service from Stu and the belts look every bit as good if not better than the Ducati ones, which if what you read is true are now made to a lesser spec in the Far East since Audi took over- the 2v belts have certainly gone up in price as part of their 'cost alignment' process that's for sure.
