would change belt and tensioners  pretty soon as they need to be done every 40 thousand miles ,exspesive if belt snaps(head rebiuld) see you have nearly clocked up 80 thousnd :y :y :y

For handbrake shoes, pattern ones are fine.  Just as good as the VX ones but a sh!t load cheaper.  Stick to VX for discs and main pads though.

Belt and tensioner kit is a 40k / 4 year thing.  Anything over is very much borrowed time.....

Also recommend 4 - 5 k oil changes......   :y

NO! At 19 I bought a Mk III Cortina, then umpteen years later I got Mk1 Cavalier coupe, had that a year untill I tried to kill my wife & I in it. Then a series B Opel Manta, 12v Senator then a proper Senator with 24valves. It all went down hill about 4 years ago when I bought an Omega 3.0 Elite  ;D and then further into dispair with the diseasal Astra. That's the lot in 28 years of having a licence ...... apart from a few 2 wheeled vehicles.
