Hi
I'm quite desperate to get hold of a Cambelt DVD, the shop says can only be delivered to UK addresses without prior arrangement but there's no contact address to make 'prior arrangements'.
We (www.locost.co.za) ship regularly from the UK using SDV so delivery will be to SDV at Heathrow and I can pay by either bank transfer (from a UK Lloyds account) or credit card.
Unfortunately PenPal doesn't allow South African credit cards.
Please can someone help me out :-(

The shop is only able to take Paypal, or by exception, cheques drawn against UK banks. None of these help you I'm afraid :(

I can send you a cheque from a UK Lloyds/TSB bank account, but with the postal service here in SA thats about as safe as sending cash !!!.
I can do an internet transfer of UK pounds from a Lloyds account direct to any UK account, that's how we pay most of our UK suppliers, all I need is an account name no and sort code. I don't expect shipment till the money is in your account
I appreciate security measure, but I can assure you this is not a scam, I can give you names and phone numbers of several UK suppliers who will vouch for me.
Can any forum members help me out here please

Can your UK depot here receive your cheque etc, and post it in the (relative) security of UK postoffice - assuming your tranpostation links to your UK place from SA are secure enough?

Hi
We only import from the UK, not export, so we don't have anything sent to them. SDV receive deliveries from several UK suppliers, then combine them into one shipment and air frieght them out to us, we pay them by bank transfer.
If you contact me 'off forum' brad@ridge.co.za I can give you the name and telephone number of our contact at SDV Heathrow, we have accounts and are well known at GAZ, Quinton Hazell, ETB Instruments and Rally Design amongst others if you have any contacts at any of those companies.

PM Sent, your offer is greatly appreciated, I'm more than willing to pay but can appreciate guys being reluctant to give out their bank details. Maybe I can find some way to return the favour sometime.
As an Ex-Lancashire lad you've restored my faith in 'Us Brits' :-).
Cheers

Just to confirm which DVD - V6 or 2.2 etc - pushing you luck if both ;D
If you transfer money bank charges will be more than DVD cost >:(

Hi,
My car is a 2000 Opel Omega 2.6 V6, I'm pretty sure it's an Omega B, but definitely V6 2.6L.
The transfer would be from a UK account so no heavy charges, but yes if I was transferring from here in SA the charges would be more than the cost.
Cheers

Is the 2.6 Cambelt change same as the 2.5 :-?
-
Mostly, although I suspect the 2.6 has the same fixed lower idler as in the 3.2. There are posts about this on the forum, and I think one of the differences is you route the belt anticlockwise from the crank, rather than clockwise as usual and in the dvd. But all this with the proviso that I have never done it...
-
I've done a 2.6 cambelt change following the DVD, and apart from the lower idler being fixed (i.e. not adjusted to 3 o'clock as per the DVD, if I understand it correctly), it was straightforward. I routed the belt clockwise without any problems.
The only thing you need to be aware of is setting the timing - because you can't adjust the lower idler, the job may require a few more goes to get everything timed up properly (the whole job took me about 4 hours - my first ever cambelt).
-
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the advice, I've a couple of mates who work with Opels regularly, it's just the Omega isn't that common here.
Someone told me the 2.6 is very similar to the Isuzu (Vauxhall) engine fitted in the Frontera (Frontier here), any one any comments ?

No problem, our shipment won't leave Heathrow till the 16th at the earliest, might even be a week later.

Thanks Ian, It's really appreciated.
On another point a Haynes manual was on my shopping list, but I see on Haynes site the Omega 2000 on is not available yet, any guys recommend an alternative for the Omega B 2000 V6 2.6 ??
