I was in my local motor factors this morning and (just as a joke!) I asked if they had a fan belt for a Daf 33. Boy, was I surprised when they said they had TWO! I bought them on the spot! If anyone needs one in the future these are still in use for certain agricultural machines. Over the next few days I need to adjust the oil pressure extension pipe I've fitted to my car, with a view to fitting an oil pressure gauge at a later date. The pressure sender unit is screwed to the underside of the near-side panel between the near-side front crossmember and the front wing. In fitting the extension pipe to the oil pressure output I had to use a 45 degree lubrication pips, to which the extension pipe is attached. I need to use a little PTFE tape, to bind the joint to prevent it seeping oil. While I've the front panel off the car I'm going to put a new fan belt on the car as well as a newly refurbished dynamo. I'm going to leave the original fan belt in place secured around the oil cooler so that, if the fan belt on the car breaks I don't have to fiddle the new belt around the impeller to fit it!

Well done Andrew and who would have thought you could still buy new parts off the shelf for a 40+ year old Daf..
It's always worth knowing and asking..before they all get thrown away.
