Best place to get parts??
« on: 08 February 2008, 14:56:30 »


Right Fellas next weekend my car is getting it!!!! ;D ;D ;D

The gearbox is being done next saturday James is helping me with Maria.

I have ordered the filter from j pat, its on its way. we are going to use a liquid seals and ill get the dexron 3 from helfords. (Thinkin about it How much do i need to do a complete replacement?)

James asked about my camblet and said we might as well do it as its due in 16,000 and the water pump wasnt changed last time.( i didnt know to do it at the same time as the cambelt if i know that i would have done it).

So here is my question where is the best place to get the cambelt kit and water pump from ? i have been quoted £83. from a vauxhall place.

Any ideas or can someone do me a better price then this?
This car is costing me a fortune at present and i need to keep this cost to a minium but without cutting corners or getting cheep parts.


Cheers guys.

water pump is recommended every other canbelt change, so it might not have needed doing when the belt was done last  :y

cool but i dont know whether it was done or not you see there is no paperwork .

just being safe really had the top half of the ecu done in feb2006 due to the cambelt snapping the day before it was going to be changed thank good she is an auto that ths only reason she only need 6 valves.

On a 2.0l, I'd change it every time anyway - its driven by cambelt, so a failure in pump does a lot of damage.

Don't forget the antifreeze ;)
