I've sent Gates a message for a quote after following this advice on the whole kit:

also to T&S motors

T&S got back quickly.

Yes this kit is available @ £72.50 + vat

Plus any carriage charge if you were not collecting from us.

Dayco could be another option.
little cheaper also.

I'm assuming these come with the tensioner arms and not JUST the pulleys.Same as KIT CT581K1 from Contitech (maybe just pulleys)

70 quid free p&p

Yes all included. Checked with the seller.
Parcelmonkey is the cheapest to get it here in less than a week.

Gates or Dayco timing kit?

Gates comes to 80 quid
Dayco 70 quid

 

[brit01]

Gates have lowered their price to 75 and locally delivery.
well I guess I know which one I'll pick up now

 

[brit01]

Gates purchased and will be delivered in person tomorrow at my parents house! but this is hurting my wallet big time.
Now a water pump.
IMO the whole front end needs to be changed, pump and tensioners. If I change just one then Murphey's Law will strike in little time!

Finally arrived!

Unfortunately I got screwed by customs and they decided to charge me 60% tax!!!
on the Gates timing kit also!!!

had to cough up about 60 quid in taxes to release them!!

 

[brit01]

ah and the Gates powergrip kit comes with SKF tensioners! didn't expect that.
shame I ordered the 98 teeth belts by mistake!!

 

[brit01]

are these holes for water drainage in case of bearing failure?

Could they be used to lubricate the bearing a little?

Water drain holes, Don't oil it could destroy the seal!!

just hope my old one hangs in there a while longer until I can get this new one in.
