Anyone any recommendations for a supplier of decent timing belt kits and water pumps. Don't really want to trust fleaBay but will if that's the recommended supplier.

I like the quality from Probestore but not sure I can wait 6 months for it to arrive!

No to probe store.
Cannot recommend a supplier on ebay as I have never bought those parts myself but there are some good ones
Check feedback and look for listings that name a brand and research that brand.Go for one that lists a phone number so you can ring and talk to them.
Read the listings and use your gut.
Also ebay compatability guides can be wrong so check with supplier.
I think some people use europarts but I ca nnot get on with their website and rockautos us comfuses me but thats me.

Costs at least three times as much but, MAZDA belts will last 100...120,000 miles. Forget 60,000, that is way too soon.

Cheers folks.

Prices vary considerably in my local Motorfactor places. Cheapest was £118 all the way up to £260 for a belt kit.

Some even said the water pump has been discontinued.
