I have a job booked for tomorrow and like a plank I have left one of the cambelt kits for it at Cas_Omegas place in west yorkshire!!
So in summary..
1) Is anyone travelling from the North between Castleford/Wakefield area and either Gloucestershire or Aylesbury tomorrow (M1 or M5)
2) Does anyone, more local to me the better, have a 2.6/3.2 cambelt kit I could beg/steal/borrow/buy - I can either purchase, or replace within 24 hours.
I'm so angry with myself it's unreal....

silly boy james ;D ;D

Not Helpful Ralf!
LFF64, you have PM :'( I will literally pull out every stop I can to ensure we can go ahead with this still tomorrow :'(
Am so cross with myself it's unreal >:(
-
Come on James .. you KNOW the solution .... in the motor and a quick trip up the M5 ... there and back 4 hours ??? you'll be back in time for breakfast .. :y :y :y
More seriously .. hope you find an easy solution soon :y :y

That was the first thing I thought of... It's three hours each way....
I nearly grabbed the keys and headed up tonight (chap was kind enough to offer to put me up) and head to Aylesbury in the morning, but I'm just too tired to drive that far tonight, I'd be dangerous..
Do I start ringing dealers to try and get a kit first thing... or do I get in the MV6 at silly O clock and get up there before all the works traffic.. :-\

and motor factors :y

I refuse to let this chap down... one way or another this cambelt is going to be done tomorrow!!!!!!
-
On a semi-serious note ....
could Cas_Omega possibly come down half way and meet you ??? one of the services maybe ??? might save you a few hours ??? you could pay his fuel if necessary ???

I wouldn't possibly ask anyone to do that because of my mistake.....
Surely there should be some kind of local factor that will stock a GM v6 cambelt kit - either local to me, or Buckinghamshire?
Would work out easier and cheaper than burning best part of £80 in fuel to collect the existing one...
-
James...Text msg sent mate :y
-
Cheers mate, just replied. I really appreciate the kind offers, but I'm really not going to ask anyone (but myself) to drive in excess of 150 miles etc to pick this up.... a local factors must be an easier option...
-
James what time are you up this way i can ring the vx dealers and allpart first thing and let you know

Is it not too far from you then, mate?
-
Just realised I have the personal mobile no of a chap who runs a local car parts shop... he will make a call first thing, but reckons he can get one in by 11:30.... which would still make the day possible, could start by 1pm and easily get all the jobs done by early evening, with this weather.... so that's one card up the sleeve...

Cheers Rob. :y
I guess I could always fit the cambelt kit that's up in Yorkshire to my MV6, when it comes back :-X ;D

Good call!!
Got one :y
Euro Car Parts Gloucester - £97 incl VAT to trade. So essentially £40 off their retail price. Bloke said strictly I should have an account, but a quick peek at my website and he was happy :y
Thank you all for your information and advice on sourcing this at such short notice :)
Just going to have some breakfast, run the Mrs into work (locally), pick it up, and then I'll be heading up to you, Mr LFF64 - See you around lunchtime :y :y
Cheers,
James
-
Well done James, :y
Hope you are well mate, keep up the good work ;)
-
Thanks James
The sun seems to have gone today here today though and I also dont have to cancel day of work which is even better :y

What's the difference between those kits?
According to the above I need this 9201887 kit.
I replaced the belt and all pulleys to SKF, the belt comes from Gates. I think I can start hearing them pulleys, hence I'd like to avoid them in future, unless I'm wrong.
Do you have any recommendations guys?
