vwp range from 97 to 123 odd £.

To be fair Steve, i believe that was an ''installer error'' when that happened. It's obviously been a while now but I think that was down to me adjusting the lower idler slightly to bring bank 2 in to time and then not re-tensioning the tensioner. if that makes sense.

All water under the bridge (under the A43 or wherever we broke down  ;D ;D)

That was from BPB iirc.

I have Contiech from BPB/SAF on both mine.

If they send the wrong one, just swap the backplate over (but use the new pulleys/bearings.

Oh, and the V6 DVD is fan-focking-tastic, if you can tolerate MDTM's knobbly knees, be the best £3 you ever spent, and just helps ever so slightly going towards our images server annual bill ;)
