once again, dont buy from e-bay store, you dont know what you are getting!

just ring LMF and pay £70 for a genuine kit. or find a local motorfactors that sells quinton hazel stuff.

I got a full cambelt kit (belt rollers and tensioner) for £55 from an ebay shop called vauxpartswarehouse.

tappets are very noisy, did an oil change, and again still no joy...even added some additive on the first time oil was changed...it's becoming louder by the day and that too randomly....

now for the cambelt kit, the previouw owner had it changed, but didnt change tensioners and rollers...since i would be doing the lifters, thought of doing all at once...

:)

ok will get this:

cambelt kit is cheap, but only about a fiver less than your local partco/halfrauds will be


:thumbs:


so I can get all of them off ebay and the guy might be doing all at a reasonable postage price...hopefully

Thank again Rob:)

BTW will all these be ok? (to my car spec: 1.4 16v)

Embarking on a new unknown journey very soon, will be posting a lot of questions :lol:

cambelt isn't massively cheap

lifters are fairly cheap


abdus

posted on 15th Jun 06 at 21:28

are these any good if changing mine?

Or do I need to buy from dealer itself?
