Can anyone tell me whether the super charger & front accessory belts (v6 engine) can be replaced with the bonnet left in place, or does it need removing to gain access.
 
Thanks RPSN for the helpful info, and good news that the bonnet can stay in place, avoiding any possible damage and misalignment problems.

Mine was removed by the indy garage who did the work last year. It took them no time to remove it and made access much easier. Marked up so alignment remained spot on.
As it happened I had the water pump replaced as it was found to have a very minor weep once they got down to it, so worth checking when you have the belts done as you're 90% of the work done to get to it.
 
Thanks for the reply cj10jeeper. Have now marked up just in case they need more access and have to remove the bonnet if they find water pump weeping, or some other other fault.
