... anyone know how much these are from Ford?
I'll go in tomorrow and find out but just thought it worth asking as if it's silly money I wont bother and just go straight to my local motor factors instead.

Cheers!

 

Unipart FTW mate! They look OE quality at a fraction of the price

 

I was told gates' belts are as good as you can get.

 

QH water pump/gates timing belt, ford dont do pump with there stamp on them anymore

 

i always found QH parts to be shit

 

Pump?? lol
I said tensioner and cam belt!

I'd rather run a genuine belt and tensioner as any failing will reslut in a dead engine
But if the price is crazy then pattern it is.

 

i paid about 45/50 a year ago or so but karlos order the two bolts for the tensioner aswel as they are only 50p each and i had one snap before...

better safe than sorry ... im going to do the same this month when i have the newman and pully fitted... so i will sort out that cam for your missus car...

 

Cheers Mark!!
Thats quite pricey but £50 for peace of mind that they wont fail easily is probably worth it.

 

just get mine from burtons. tensioner is around £20 and a gates belt.

 

gates are what are used by Ford Karlos they just stick in a ford box and slap on 60% belt cost me £11 for a powergrip
and def get tensioner from ford. Prob still under £30 if you can get it trade.

 

or you can get them from msd for £35 i think but im just going to get a ford one and be done with it .... but 6 of my mates all work at the local ford lol

 

Ours are genuine Gates Belts and genuine INA tensioners chaps.
