im thinking its time for a service / cam belt on the omega - the service kit (filters etc) i can get from ebay. Are the Cam Belt Kits any good? what brand should i be looking for ? i bought a powerslide? one for my megane, its been fine for 15k km so far

Brake discs, again, ive seen brembo sets on ebay for about 55 pounds, that looks good to me! brembo are range rover sport O/E.

exhaust - ive seen them on ebay, 106 pounds for the centre pipes and back box plus 27 pounds postage. the centre pipes, just before the back box have split / rusted on mine - is it worth buying an ebay one, or are they made of tinfoil?

Eternal exhausts get a good name, from their eBay shop. I believe it can be difficult to navigate but someone will be able to advise better.
BuyPartsBy recommended for cambelt kits.
Service items probably personal choice, particularly if you can't have genuine filters, oil, etc. particularly as these items are regularly replaced

Don't forget with the cambelt you will need to buy or borrow a locking kit regardless of what people might tell you. I used to have one but have sold it.

Exhaust. I got quite a serviceable one from Poland off EBay. I don't think many UK vendors like Eternal will ship to Spain. I did try local Recambios but the prices were ludicrous (500 euros plus) you might get a better deal in Malaga.

Brake discs. Rears . I found the ones I bought off EBay serviceable enough. Fronts need to be VX/Opel as the aftermarket ones warp easily.

Service kits (filters,plugs,oil etc) - tend to get genuine Vx on TC (cheap)
Cam belt kit - Contitech from Buypartsby
Exhaust - Eternal off eby
Brake discs - front get genuine Vx kit on TC (pattern warp quickly!!), rears pattern ok

Remember, although well known companies make good brakes, used by many manufacturers as OE, they all make a shit range as well. Guess what you get for the low price?

One exception I'll make is GM aftermarket. £15 for pads, very, very capable, if a bit dusty.

Dealer only for cam kit,

But from a pure performance point of view....

Agreed and both are Vx OE suppliers    Both brands well proven on OOF

[05omegav6]

Postage for the discs and pads might be expensive though unless you fly BA with no hand luggage weight limit
The discs should fit in a modest rucksack

But not at that price, I assume
