Ah, but once you've sold them nothing you replace them with will fill the void, and you'll want another one ;)

Checked my belt as it slipped when I went full throttle. Belt still looks new "Funky I checked the belt width and it was 31.5mm" but there was some dust on the variator

If you accelerate hard it can cause the clutch to slip or the belt if the engine is at running temps, try and avoid it :)

Michel is right you need to clean out the casing, making sure the pulley halves are clean and oil/grease free when putting them back in so avoid touching the insides when putting it back together.

The belt as I have said before may look perfect but has a low tolerance, you still have 1mm to go but I would change it at 31mm as the drop off in performance is noticeable by then.
