Post by: Martin_1962 on 06 May 2009, 20:41:58

Is Autovaux the best place and what details do I need before order?

Martin contact Buypartsby (http://www.buypartsby.co.uk/) with your engine number - sure they can supply.  Now around £60 incl VAT and kits are Contitech so OK.

I have bought from Autovaux and they were fine.   SKF as I remember.  They will give you a 5 or 10% discount of you mention the forum.

I also bought a Gates kit off ebay for a rather good price (yes, it was new.. ::)) , so worth a look out :y

Kit I bought from Autovaux was SKF pulleys and a gates belt - top quality and only about £80 :y

About 70something but no discount from AutoVaux, would have had a 1 at the front from the local  dealers

I have lost all trust in Autovaux now, thus tend to avoid them.

Plenty of other places will sell the same gates or contitech kits for same price
