Hi guys & girls ...

Looking to do a cambelt change with abit of help, Is it recomended to get the kit and change the pulleys aswell or can i just change the belt .. found these guys wo can supply a kit: http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts_info.asp?id=433

IPC are excellent to deal with mate, next day delivery if you order AM. Any questions phone them, very helpful.

Edit: It is worth the extra £20 for the Gates belt over the Dayco item.

I'd recommend Import Car Parts to anybody. Top class service and most stuff is oe or oe quality.

I just ordered my idlers gears for the timing belt from him and they reference oe. Bought the timing belt off GGR as they were the cheapest from a recognised company. Not sure about crank shaft oil seal though.

The Gates are a good OE quality belt, I fitted one 3 years ago and have another one here waiting to go on very soon. They are used by many on here and else where?
Here's the kit http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/part...en=&searchKey=

Another for import car parts, i got the gates belt and full pulley kit genuine oil filter and sump washer and fan belt for about £220 delivered, i wish i had got the cosworth belt as its 300% stronger so they say, import car parts said i could return the gates no problem and pay the diffrence for the cosworth one if i wanted, 1 st class service
