Hi, as it says in the subject line, I am about to buy a timing belt kit.
Obviously they come at a range of prices, does anyone have any recommendations as to which make would be the best, and why, please?
I will be getting a discount from Eurocarparts so am looking at them, they stock SKF, Dayco and INA.
Thanking you in advance.
Stan.

Dayco is a well known brand. It's the minimum quality I would recommend I.E. don't go any 'cheaper' than Dayco.
I personally would recommend Gates. Gates makes OEM belts.

Thanks mate.
Gates do get good recommendations for all sorts of vehicles, e.g. Land Rovers, of which I have three and spend a lot of time on one of their forums.
Might have to see where I can get one from, discount or no discount.
