With any luck the £100 one will be the right one for your car. 

To bloody expensive . And certainly only buy online for home delivery, as some stuff sits on their store shelves for years.

How much is a good price then?    ByPartsBuy are about the same for one but much cheaper for the other.

Ah yeah, but buy parts by HAVEN'T got a sale on.

Of course!    Silly me....   

Oh and ignore my earlier post re cam belt back plates, as I was talking cobblers!    Don't try it at home folks!!

Believe you can use an adjustable bottom roller on later (2.6 & 3.2 engines), but its more important to use the correct housing (can fit new rollers etc to original housing - ensuring correct spacers used) 
Think Marks DTM Calib can confirm.

You can fit any kit to any engine if you re-use the tensioner back plate and accept you might have to adjust the lower idler (not an issue).

Buypartsby are about the best for price.

Not sure how others have fared with car parts 4 less, but if you spend over £100, there's a promo code CP15LESS which lets you £15 off. They may work out more expensive before the promo code, but cheaper than the others afterwards. I did this with my timing kit - I simply added a couple of brake hoses to my order to tip it over the magic £100 and I then saved (ok, only) a fiver compared with other sites.

I've used CP4L a couple of times via their ebay listings which seem to be cheaper. 

Firstly I bought a battery last year which was delivered the next day.    and secondly I bought a set of headbolts, but they only sent 8 bolts.  When I complained and pointed out that the picture showed 16 bolts, they sent out another 8 bolts. 

I've used ECP as well.      Never had a problem with them.

Hello All
Thanks for all your welcome comments and advice
Looks like BuyPartsBy will be my best bet
Although will have to wait a week or two
Need to recover from the expense of replaceing with new
The two front wheel bearings
Along with the springs and shocks
Luckily still have the timeing tool
And also the howto DVD from the last time
Now an essential piece of kit as I can't remember in full all the detail
From the last time well over 4 years ago
Once more have to say
Great stuff the spirit of OOF still lives thanks all
