Title: buypartsby/ cambelt kit
Post by: Tab on 09 February 2008, 00:25:55
found this...

https://sslrelay.com/buypartsby.co.uk/timing-belt-kit-info.php?recordID=6714

is this the right belt kit for my engine? my engine number is 08283533.

it seems a bit cheap compared to the prices i've seen elsewhere, even with the vat it's still only just over £60.

has anyone ever used this company?

any input is appreciated ;)

I quite like the Contitech kits.

Cant be sure its the right one for yours though although I have some spare back plates which are the only major difference.

Buypartsby is the internet sales side of Sutton Auto Factors (based around nottingham) who I use quite a bit for parts.

If anybody wants any buypartsby items for the cambelt do then I can collect them......they work out a little more over the counter though.

If these kits are OK, it might be worth asking them for a discount for a bulk purchase :y

The Ebay link above (not the buypartsby one) shows a cambelt without a tensioner....

yeah i know, i sent him a question asking exactly what parts are in the kit and he replied saying "the pic shows all the parts in the kit" ::)

i think i'll leave that one alone.
