Could any of the mechanical guru's confirm whether this is a recommended locking kit please?

That's where I got the link from Rob! 

Is it necessary to have the Belt Guide Roller Adjuster as well?

You`re asking someone who only breaks V6`s

Mostly looks right.Doesnt appear to have the wedge which holds the belt in place while its loose.Two pieces in the kit I dont recognise.Im not that experienced though (only done the job twice) so may be better to wait for someone who is to pass judgement before deciding.

[albitz]

This is the type Im used to seeing.

The wedge is the blue bit in the bottom lefthand corner

Thats is the most complete kit i have seen available. Two cam locks, crank lock, wedge, and gauge are the normal parts with most kits.
This one also has the torx for the crank pulley, and the correct cranked ring spanner to adjust the pulleys/timing. That spanner is ideal as its shorter and less ungainly than a normal 32(?) mill cranked ring spanner which is heavy, over a foot long and falls off the pulley very easily.

Personally, if buying a locking kit i'd be a bit miffed if i had to go out and buy a spanner and torx socket as well. Which makes this kit a bit more economical in the long run.

Although, as i am lucky enough to know a few members with a kit, i personally wouldnt buy at that price....£80 odd yes.  If it was just a bit cheaper... NNNNYEEEA!

There are cheaper kits, but less complete. But you wont go far wrong with that one.... Hopefully.

I guess if you have that size torx, and the correct size cranked ring spanner, then buy a cheaper kit without those parts...?

That's why I asked Chris.

Rude not to then.

Rude not to then.

Once I've added the cambelt kit and water pump to it, and paid for 4 new tyres tomorrow, I sense this being an expensive weekend!!
