Serpentine

Welcome to the world of auto parts...Most vehicles on the road
today have what is known as a "serpentine" (V-ribbed)
drive belt...Years ago a your car or truck had 2-4 belts each
"driving" a different auto part...Now this one belt supplies
power, from your crankshaft, to the alternator, water pump,
power steering and air conditioner...

If it ever needs to be replaced, and is not broken, ask your
mechanic for the used belt and place it in your car's trunk
(or boot)....While you may never need it, the old belt just may
get you out of a jam, in the middle of nowhere, some day.
Remember this one belt runs the whole car...

Other used auto parts which may come in handy are a
windshield wiper which has a little life left in it...And saving
one or two of the longest ignition wires from your old wire
set will not hurt either......Pumps
