Linh, you know you can go back and edit your messages if you would like to change something.

Also, to use the http:// link button correctly, click it, the first prompt that pops up will ask for the TEXT you want to show that will be hyperlinked and clickable. The 2nd prompt that pops up will prompt you for the ACTUAL LINK. It looks like you are entering the link in the Text area and text in the link area.

DINAN article

This has been posted before. I gave my .02 cents worth in the orignal thread.

Long story short- several unrelated storys/marques combined to prove a real theory and point with several important possiblities left out. I have all alloy pulleys on all of our cars for years and never have had ONE failure of any kind.

Maybe MBZ makes better cranks than BMW
