That's exactly what happened!
Good news though - picked it up and my lord it drives like new! No lumpy revs, no hesitation, the smell of burning oil is gone, it's just better in every way. Silly how something so simple as a car running right can make a person so happy but I really am very pleased right now!
New serpentine belt and a bunch of other bits just to keep on top of maintenance for a while. I've been advised of exhaust leaks which mean I'll be going the stainless route in the next few weeks, plus I will be looking for an arm kit for the front and back in the next few months - but for now, wohoo!
