Repco - $275
Super Cheap Auto - $160
Burson Automotive - $190
Autopro - $140
Autobarn - $199
CBC Bearings - $120

Kit or belt? Looks like some are quoting you a belt some the kit. Add $150.00 for a water pump.

Part prices should be the least of your worries as labour will be $500+!!

Thankgod I did mine myself.

That was just for the belt, I quoted them the Gates part number. I got quoted $420 for the kit from CBC bearings.

And water pump is $85 from Supercheap Auto.

As for labour, PHIL069 and myself will be doing it.

Could somebody please link me to a non-mivec timing belt or kit that won't cost me too much and won't take too long to ship to Adelaide? My car's out of action until I get it changed and I've had to borrow an excel with pink trim everywhere...SAVE ME.

Give them a call to make sure it's non_mivec, their phone number is on the page.
dstocks sent me the link for my mivec but it states "GR" $194.94AUD delivered, includes belt + tensioner pulley + idler pulley, can take 3-10 days to receive

From camskill $180.14AUD delivered, includes belt + tensioner pulley + idler pulley + alt belt + PS belt, can take a week to receive.

try your local bursons/auto parts

I reckon I'll go Camskill...So it'll take a week or so? That's okay then! As long as it's not months or anything

Well if you need anything else from them, now would be the time because postage is the same for multible purchase (as long as you don't order anything too heavy)

Yeah, minimum postage amount is 50GBP for up to 5KG.

DAFUQ?! THAT'S NEARLY AS MUCH AS THE BELT!!

I calculated postage into the timing belt kit for you already.

So it's still cheaper than anywhere else and you get the extra belts too.
So if you want anything else from camskill you wont pay anymore postage, if you order together with your timing kit.

Oh, cheers man! That's perfect. I might take a look at what else they have!

Put together a list and email asking for a quote on postage

Easier way is to just go to google and type the amount followed by GBP. eg. "100 GBP"

Seriously a kit is not required. I've done over 200k almost due for third belt and all seals ave no leaks and all pulleys have no play in them.

Only thing to fail is a water pump, put another one in a couple of months ago and pulleys felt fine.

I can get quotes on kits for you guys if you want? The price of belts I buy trade are so much cheaper than retail. Not sure about the FTO ones but if ya interested PM me.

I'd much rather get the whole lot in a kit, such as the ones on Camskill, as judging by a few other things on my car such as a Japanese oil filter, it's most likely not had anything done to it since it was imported.
At least I know where I'm at maintenance wise if I get everything that I can replaced...

There are no seals for the camskill kit. The dayco will come with 5.

10 bucks a seal from camskill plus a crankshaft seal will be over $50 easy.
