Has anybody taken advantage of this offer yet?

If so, how did you get on?

I used them for a D16Z2 cambelt kit, it came through very quickly 2 days by courier £75.00 delivered!

Looks like you're setting up a dealership Craig!

Don't use waterless coolant [ Evans springs to mind ] it's secret lies in it's poor heat transfer characteristics. The stuff leaves the heat in your block/cyclinder head instead of transferring it to the cooling system! It's flammable and very slippery [like oil] banned by all forms of motor sport! :o

Before writing it off, find out what is actually wrong with it instead of guessing. Water or condensension is a normal byproduct of the combustion process, especially from cold.

I could possibly have bought a Gates Kit cheaper, however I opted to buy from XPart who are open for business again; I spoke to a very helpful woman working from home and got a belt idler & spring for £75.00 delivered, that's inclusive of 10% discount. You have to ment...

Along with the rear deck retainer (below the plastic rear screen) these mild steel items are poorly protected from the...

Bought a Michelin, just one to match the other tyres on the car, think it was an Ecco-climate, picture shows a conventional block pattern tread. Pictures not part of the description obvs. What turned up at the fitters, was a uni-directional tyre that can only be fitted to one side of the vehicle! no...
