Now it's not quite so cold and wet I really must tackle this. I can't see a specific guide so a few questions.
Do I need a locking tool, or is that just V6?
What should I buy - I can get a Gates kit here for £78

Is this accepted as good, or should I be sticking genuine VX?
I see QH pumps refered to as ok, but I can't seem to find any. Are any of these reliable - FAI? Febbi Bilsteib? Comline? Or should I stick to VX?
Anything I should be aware of / watch out for?
Many thanks in advance.

Locking tool is needed. Its a very basic tool and not a set of tools like the v6. Should be inexpensive.
Gates kits are excellent quality.If you buy from a VX dealer you may well be supplied with gates kit. Contitech are also very good quality.
Dont know answers to other points,but Im sure others will soon be along who do. :y

That is NOT a QH pump. Genuine QH has part number QCP3059. Hard to get a genuine QH ;)

Thank you all - really useful input.
Is there a 2.2 DVD also?
(Being cautious as last time I changed a Cambelt was on a 1982 1.6 Cortina!)

2.2 DVD available in the OOF shop for £3.00. I seem to remember that the quality isnt that great,but probably still useful for a first timer.
