Import car parts is the cheapest place to get one from, the dayco kits are roughly £180 and the gates kits are roughly £210.

Yeah ive always preferred the gates kits myself, ive fitted loads of the kits and never had one fail yet, dayco are half descent aswell though and should be fine for standard power.
Id recommend changing all the idlers and tensioner mate, you wont have to worry about any of them packing up then.
Id look at doing the water pump too as this is cambelt driven.
