conti for me, but skf are fine i believe, both supply GM anyway. GM on tc are about 110 for my 3.2 so the card wont help so much on this item.

Any gates/conti/skf should be fine.  The prices your are being quoted are too high though.

i have just had a look at euro car parts and they want

conti £90.28 Inc VAT
skf £90.48 Inc VAT

the stealers want £108 + VAT (126.90 inc) for the timing belt kit with a TC....

the price from the stealers was what i was quoted yesterday from eden exeter, will get a price as soon as the TC comes through!

now for the help......

You could get the cambelt kit from Autovaux who also do locking kit hire.

Another vote for the DVD; I couldn't have done the job without it... :y
