 wondering if a couple of you would enquire about the price of a cambelt kit for a shogun 2.5 TD non intercooler,year 87 manual box?
Im getting some stupid quotes at the moment last time i bought one it was 56quid!!(for Ze,s L200 animal same engine)
best wuote i have so far is guess what???

I could make a guess but that wouldn't be fair as I have been exposed to the rip off that is spare parts over here!!!

I have a figure in mind but I'll keep it to myself for now.

Is it too much to fit into a carry on?

Graham, Linda is going back to Scotland soon and will be back in Spain before I get home on the 8th....is that any good to you?

If youre doing it you need to replace the balance shaft belt and tensioner too which is why the price will be so high. I f you do the timing belt but leave the balance shaft belt, and the balance shaft belt goes it will invariably cause the timing belt to jump teeth. at best 3 snapped rockers, at worst a FULL engine. I have had one where the lifters didnt snap(which they should) it bent the valves but it also lifted the cam shaft ripping the bolts out of the head and shocked the shells on the big end so a new lump required as it just wasnt cost effective.. the 4D56 lumps are getting hard to find so spend the cash and look after the one you have.

p.s. while youre in there check the crankshaft pulley for delamination

thanks dude but i did ask if it was BOTH belts? yeh been there before done a few of em now but mostly just buy at trade and then sell to customer at full retail, now that im doing it on me own(wifes car) car costs matter!! strangely enough, I guess because its such an early one it has a solid pulley on the front!! but yes know what you mean about delaminating pulleys her L200 Animal di this trick!!!

sorry you are quite right, pre 90 cars didnt have 2 piece pulleys. the one below is poorly and I remember trying to take the pulley off to remove the lump to do the clutch.

nice to see it being used properly!! do early one peice pulleys fit later engines i wonder? cos its a pain in the arris if it has delaminated and some pillock dont know about it and try to time it up on the pulley!! lol
