Title: Cheap cambelt kit
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 19 March 2014, 09:49:16: Any good to anyone? :-\

Ah that's supposed to be an ebay link....... :-\ ::)

So it's a Gates V6 cambelt kit for £42 + £10 postage item no. 161250009059

Seems like a good buy on the face of it. :)

Based on that, for a V6, that's a good price. Remember that the V6 may use 3 different kits, 2 are interchangeable by swapping backplates.

Downside, being egay, you can never tell if its what it claims.

Indeed, Caveat Emptor! ;)

Why didn't the link work TB? :-\

And it's not my item either, so feel free to delete if deemed inappropriate. :-\ ;)
