hi all,
I'm a newbie as you can see and on my 1st beemer a 1988 318i with an M40 engine. The issue I've got is that my fan belt slips and screeches, when I adjust it it stops for a short while (about 1/2 day!) and then slips again. I'm assuming its the bracket bushes from what I've found out. Any idea where i can get some from as I'm struggling to find any at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers! :)

sounds more like you need a new belt.

Cheers, I'll give that a go and see if it makes a difference.
Hopefully that'll sort it. Thanks again. :)
