#1: Timing Belt Kit Author: DREWDEN, Location: huddersfieldPosted: Sun Aug 31, 2014 9:47 am ---- Hi people, with just getting the MOT out of the way, my next thing is the timing belt, (kit with water pump) my mate fitting it, anyone knows the ins and out, of the way to go, planning on keeping the car for a few years yet, as is rust free, and the engine is still running sweet.
Tempted to go the main dealers way, not priced up as yet, anyone gone the cheaper root not main dealers, for the kit. and do the cheaper motor factors kit cover 90,000 miles, any feedback much appreciated.

Good price, threw me a bit, had a higher figure in my head, just my mate to fit it now.

Goes to prove that genuine parts are not as expensive as some people think
