Do you mind me asking .. what's the difference between the one you bought at £50 and the one on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/vauxhall-vectra-omega-cavalier-calibra-v6-cam-lock-kit_W0QQitemZ170152579385QQihZ007QQcategoryZ10404QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

presently at £21, though it will probably go up ...

look identical to me .....but I know nothing ...  :)

That's a SP one, so good quality. I bet it will end a lot higher than 21 quid.

I believe the previous one James had was a laser one. These are nowhere near as nice in terms of quality. The one James had didn't fit over the water pump properly. I also have a laser one and whilst it does the job it's not great.

If I had found a SP one for 50 quid at the time I bought the laser one I would have snapped it up!

Next thing on my list, is a HALFORDS low range torque wrench, I have a clarke one, but it doesn't measure in NM, which is a royal pain in the rear end !


You might like to take a peep at this as well ..  :)

http://www.lawson-his.co.uk/scripts/details.php?cat=Torque%20Wrenches&product=32543

Not a bad piece of kit, Nm and angular head, good positive "click" at the desired torque, only used it twice so far .. but seems ok to me ...  :)

Then why say he'd end the auction upon reciept of my payment?

I guess he is just busy......
