are these any good if changing mine?

Or do I need to buy from dealer itself?

yeah, they will be fine

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

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:

what about the lifters? are they ok? or do not buy from ebay?

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.
