Worth checking out then. Thanks! :)

I suspect by now you probably also need a cambelt change (+water pump, tensioners, idlers, PAS belt, alt. belt etc...) RA is an excellent source for these parts and I recently got 3 sets, inc post, taxes, packing etc for about the same as 1 over here :shock:


I recently bought some carnauba wax from a geezer in Maine and had to pay £12 on arrival at the post office. More annoying was the Saturday morning queue to collect that stretched for more than 20 metres outside Walsall post office. :banghead:

Stef

Good news :D :D I found the rear Yellow Stuff brake pads. They are totally unused, cost me about £60 just before I changed the rear brake system to the PNM conversion.

They're yours. Let me know how to get them to you. Sent a PM too.
