    Hi JimmyBuck,

    Text speak/typing is against the charter here as it can be very difficult to read, if you could refrain from it in future posts it would be great. Thanks

    As for the timing belt have you checked other performance orientated garages like icetronix, the tuning factory or urban performance?

    Your second problem sounds like getting the wheels balanced and tracked could sort that out.

    Where abouts are you based?

    Couple of options for the parts. Ebay would be a start. Look for sellers/shops with history and 100% good feedback that are selling named third party parts or OEM at normal prices. Second avenue would be enthusiasts forums for your car, as they can have very good deals and you'll know the stuff is good as the other users recommend them. I've done the latter more than once and over the years saved a lot of money. I got a timing belt kit for mine inc, water pump, belt, tensioner and ancillary belts for 150 odd quid landed at my door. Ringing around the main dealers here, the quote for just the belt was that.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    You might need to get approval from admin for the site.

    Try dtdirl.com too, there is a traders section on there that might be helpful

    try irishautoparts.ie
    you'll have to ring them because they dont have it listed on the site.

    tezzaworld would be the best bet its 210 for the full kit delivered to your door off nick on the site
