Where is the best place to get a kit? For 3.2 if it makes any odds...
Buypartsbuy/suttons?
By "best" obviously I mean cheapest for, say, conti tech or similar.

got mine last year from ebay cost me 59£ inc post 8-)
this was GM kit :)
-
A lot of people are saying Gates kits are good too, there regularly available on ebay for around the 60 squid mark :y
-
I only use Gates kits from my local motor factor.
-
Gates, conti or skf, all oe suppliers according to oof legend i believe. But whats the best priced supplier....?
-
TB & KW advised me to buy mine from a dealer, said they wouldn't put anything else in their cars.
-
I've always used Contitech from Buypartsby and never had a problem but they can take a while to come though.

I think that was in the run-up to Newent when time was tight?
I'd be happy to use Gates, Contitech, SKF, etc.
Haven't bought one myself since the run up to the Telford meet so no idea which supplier is best.

Good point. :y

Contitech.
But the bit that failed is the same as and made by the same people as supply gates, Vx and SKF!
-
Tc price is 110 give or take.
Interesting though, 126 reads and only a few suggestions... :-/
Actually, one suggestion :y
-
At least 14 of those reads are me, coming back every time there's a post... sadly I have precisely 0 suggestions on where to buy them, though.. ;D

Ive bought all contitech from buypartsby for mine, 2.2, 3.0 x several, 3.2 x 1, and only had the one catastrophic failure....still bought the same again next time though.
-
Also contitech from buypartsby - will need another soon (Estate done over 30K since I fitted it)

Indeed, I have a Conti on my MV6, fitted by Gnome. God only knows what Countess and Pinky have written on the belt though...
