About those rollers, I didn't change them in the last belt change, so I'm kinda in a nervous situation, been driving for over 100 000 km with those rollers and the change limit is 60 000 km. But, I'm gonna change the whole set in this autumn.

Yes, its the idlers and tensioner (especially) that goes, so you're on borrowed time.  Never change just the belt on the V6

Yes, I know, saved some money, but I've been driving very carefully with it, not revving too much, especially in the mornings. Maybe I have just been lucky till now.

Anyone used Amazon for cambelt?    Dayco timing belt kit? 

http://www.amazon.co.uk/cars/dp/B009ZQE0EM/ref=au_pf_sr_9?ie=UTF8&n=248877031&s=automotive&submodelId=8117

£56.85!    It could be controversial..... 

Gosh! Very cheap, ain't it? I tried to search the Autovaux site, got muddled, but they seem to be offering Dayco belts, at a higher price. I always used to buy SKF kits from them, but can't find them now. Amazon offers this belt with a red display saying 'FITS YOUR OMEGA 2.5 SALOON'; I had not told it I had a 2.5 Omega. I'm a bit puzzled that Allgerman offer 3 belts for my car at different prices, all Gates, different engine numbers; I imagine these are variations in the eccentric pulleys. As discussed before, all V6 kits will fit all V6 Omegas.
