Jaguar Repair: 87 xjs12, power steering pump, fan belt

Question
i have a 1987 jag v12 and the fan belt is very loose  causing the car to over heat how do i tighten the belt thanks Robbie

Answer
Hi Robbie,
The adjuster is easily accessible on top of the power steering pump on the drivers side. It should be obvious as it is a threaded adjusting rod (like the other belt adjusters) with a 9/16 wrench on the two nuts on either side of the block attached to the top of the power steering pump. Loosen the outside nut and run the inside nut so as to move the pump. Don't over tighten the belt or you can cause damage to the bearings in the power steering pump as well as the water pump bearings. The other belts are adjusted in the same manner. good luck.
