    Not really anywhere to suggest but ask for brands and specs and get decent ones i.e. metal propellers on water pump, SKF belt kit etc. I like Autovaux for stuff like that.

    I think it's worth considering changing the bolts that hold the pulleys/tensioner in place, they are known for shearing if faulty or work loose. Available from Vauxhall still.

    I only use Gates belts. Gm use them in factories and they are the better make or belt. (SKF use gates belts in there kits)

    Watch ECP as they will try and sell your some indian shite first.

    Hmm yeah I was thinking just shell out and call autovaux but I might be getting trade cards for Ecp and all parts so may get a quote first when I get that if I can get decent spec stuff

    cheers guys

    No matter who you are, they will quote you on cheap makes first. Plus their trade accounts arnt worth a wank.
