So I need to do fatherT's cambelt, just wondering who everyone is using these days? After the kit for a 2.2, along with waterpump 

Buypartsbuy? 

[TheBoy]

Never bothered looking...

Went GM last time, but the waterpump did not last long if you remember....

cheapest safe option will be buypartsby belt kit and dealer pump

For a 2.2 I'd probably just swallow the cost and go to a dealer

Was thinking that, just with my 2.2, the waterpump started making horrible noises after about 10k, think it was just a faulty

Contitech & gates kits can be found on ebay. Iirc I paid just under £100 for my last one,although that was a couple of years ago.

I hope a 2.2 cambelt kit would be way less than £100... ...esp as my last V6 one was less than £70 delivered (Contiech)

I saw mention of father T,s car (skipped the rest of the post  ) and vaguely remembered it being 3.0, so assumed V6.

No, it's his mum's that the 3.0. His dad has a 2.2. Tunnie himself has a 2.2 and a 3.2.  Thats a shitload of Omegas

Add into that a Nissan and a BMW GS, it makes for one full driveway!

Its like a brainteaser sometimes, what needs to be moved to get one on the road

Your Mum has a 3.0 and your Dad a 2.2? We know who's in charge there  .

Dad got 2.2 as a company car brand spankers, annoying at the time the new emission based tax for company cars came in. Made the V6 vastly more expensive at the time 

Once we knew loads more about Omegas, we knew the spec and engine to get, as we got the Estate long time after we got 2.2

Buypartsby 

Contitech belt kits + good quality water pumps

£169.00 from Andy Clears did one last month with RobG.

I got mine from buypartsby in March.
The tensioner was the wrong one (no problem - used the original back plate with new tensioner) and the water pump developed a nasty squeek almost immediately.

It's still bloody squeeking when cold now!
