Alright guys my major service is due in about 4000k's so i am looking at getting all the parts i need before hand so i dont get charged a killer by the mechanic.
If anyone can tell me exactly what i should get changed, and if you have brand new parts i am willing to negotiate a price.
I only want new parts as i want to do this properly and not half arsed.
Thanks guys.

timing belt
waterpump
tensioner
idler
auto tensioner (depending on condition of old one
Seals

thats about it im sure someone will come along woth part numbers but you can usually buy a kit containing everything except waterpump and auto tensioner

labour will be around 6 hours worth

oh and if getting old may aswell do aircon and alternator belts

can get them from most auto shops like repco etc just make sure you get correct one as gpx and gr have different timing belts, everything else is identical
