Hmm,nothing wrong with buying 2nd hand new etc,the only thing im wary of is the 200 miles,probably more like a 500-1000 but that might be me being synicle in trusting people

way up the price difference from brand new shop new etc to these and go from there,if its a big big saving,do it,if its say,only £30 then buy proper new

Seller says the belt is used and the car had a crank problem. Not worth skimping on a cam belt in my opinion.
£60 is about average for a water pump if you shop on Ebay

He bought the timing belt and water pump from a shop and the pulleys and tensioner from one of his best mates who had fitted them to his car but then the crank went a little after fitting.I agree that they have probably done more than 200 miles but as long as they aint done 20,000 then i dont think its a bad deal.
