Its the rollers and tensioner that tend to fail not the belt so always get a full kit.

yea the tensioners do go, thats how my car ended up in the state it did.

full cambelt kit down here isn't as expensive as what mike said, i got one for £62 trade price tho, but wouldnt be much more. but obviously if u got a water pump to it would bump it up a bit mroe, i would change it tho for peice of mind.

i brought a replacment engine about 5 weeks ago, and decided im gunna change the cambelt tensioners, water pump etc even tho it was done 40.000 ago, just to be on the safe side
