Im going to be taking advantage of ECP 25% off, as ill be doing a major overhaul on the car in the summer, just wanted opinions on a few of the parts.
www.eurocarparts.com/e...61a&000346
www.eurocarparts.com/e...80d&000332
www.eurocarparts.com/e...5e7&000366
I will be removing my engine in the summer, to look at a oil leek, change the timing belt and tensioners and I thought I might as well change the top mounts and bearing. Is the ECP stuff any good, or would it best to stick to Peugeot, especially the water pump and belt.

Conitech are alright-ish timing belt kits.
But if you have the cash go for OEM Peugeot parts.
End of the day they didn't spend millions in research for nothing 
Failing that Gates Powergrip belts are pretty decent.

They should be as they are the OE ones a Peugeot / Citroen dealer would supply

That is based off the 206 service box however.
The Peugeot parts desk have the parts cheaper, leak off pipes for my 206 were going to be £140 according to Peugeot service box, but when I went to Peugeot near my town it was about £50 for them, so don't be put off by the price that the service box says.
Ring up your nearest Peugeot parts desk and see what price they give you.
And don't go off the part numbers as they don't match in the UK as the Service box is based in France if i'm not mistaken.

Service Box will show the correct part numbers according to the VIN number typed in.

Made by Continental who don't make crap. I've got Contitech belts on all my cars and they are fine.
I wouldnt go for just a 'OE quality' water pump. Get a branded item. The top mounts especially the SKF kits are high quality parts.

I didn't say they made crap, but i'd rather go for a Peugeot timing belt, was just stating my opinion.

+1 for SKF top-mounts which I've used and are top notch.
I also always go for SKF timing/v-belt kits which are top-notch and have Gates belts in them most of the time.
Contitech is actually meant to be even better but not so easy to get over here and costs more.

Is there a difference fitting wise to the left and right top mounts? I cant see any difference on my car.
I bought the belt kit from carparts4less , worked out a lot cheaper.

What it would have left the factory with originally.
The last 2 x genuine Peugeot supplied timing belts I've had fitted on my TU3 have both been Gate's.

Eurocarparts often have sales but they are at least 25% more expensive than they should be. Their sister company is called carparts4less and user the same web layout and part numbers and parts and is usually at least 25% cheaper.

I sometimes use Mister Auto for buying recognised brands that ECP don't stock.
