The stuff for the K series is cheap anyway. Yous being slightly older, it takes the really cheap cambelt kit (around £30 pattern).  I had a spare older style camcover gasket in the garage you could have had, but then they are only a few quid.

If unipart, the newer PS belts are 5mm shorter, which makes it a bit of a challenge to get on.

Exactly. I tend to go in knowing I'll walk out empty handed, as often they won't meet my demands pricewise...

Good luck, its all fairly simple stuff on that car :y

As soon as you get camcover off, check tensioner is same type as yours (one has a triangular pointer, one has a wire pointer). If different, the belt is a different length as well!  Last time, Motorserv gave me wrong one (Gates book had error)

Never done one on L series - the 2 L series cars we had were a comapny lease, so they just sorted it all out.

Yep, not quite as cheap as Richer Sounds.....within a fiver though!

Same model and VERY happy with it!

Compared to the Sony I was looking at to, its a much better unit!
