Late cars (about 97.5-98ish onwards) are 01, early are EB.

www.buypartsby.co.uk

And yes, I really rate the contitech kits, they are the same bearings and backing plates as Vx with a good belt to!

The Gates kit I have also has SKF bearings - so seem to be a common factor.

With all my vauxhall's i have put gen parts on and i think you will find if you buy a vauxhall belt kit and have a garage fit it then if it snaps vauxhall will not only replace the kit they will also pay to to fix your car which i am not sure after market kit companys will do.

Not usually belt that breaks.  Both Gates & Contitech are OEM suppliers so belt quality + rest of kit quality same as supplied by VX.  Why pay £149 + VAT (£97 + VAT TC) when you can get the same for £53 + VAT?

Sadly not these days, although they will fit a replacement belt for you!

That tends to sudgest that it might not have been the original engine....how high was the right sided idle roller, close to the oil pump or half way between pump and cam 4?

i can't remember to be honest it has been a little while since i last looked at it.

I remember it being the early one as when we did it the first time we were sent the wrong one by vaux and they were a little perplexed by it

Again, it points at an 'oddity'......possibly an early lump in a later car....
