OK as long as you don't post to your own sales adverts  :y :y :y

As in general, you get what you pay for. There was some problems with the quality/accuracy of the cheaper kits (Laser?)

This is the number of the item, (140629677207) whats your comments please, would it be any good for the job in your opinions, it seems a waste to purchase a locking kit at £150 plus only to be used once

Unfortunately that's no good for anything other than a 4 cylinder car  ;) ;)

You need something like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CRANKSHAFT-CAM-LOCKING-TOOL-KIT-SAAB-VAUXHALL-V6-/180732490496?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item2a147ef300#ht_2229wt_952
This is rather more than you need to pay. Around £50 will buy you a used Sykes Pickavant kit, or you might be able to borrow one if you live local to a kit owning OOFer & ask nicely.  :y :y :y

Think i will purchase that one and re-auction it when i have done with it, best get the correct kit as opposed to stuffing up the fitting of the new belt.
