Cambelt due

[richw911]

Any idea what a hydraulic dampener is? Is additional to the kit but worth doing?

As it stands, with this dampener i can get it done for £300 inc fitting

Yes you must replace it aswell

Its £75 from TPS

Its £75 from TPS 

If it fails the bill will be much more than that

As said before get the full cambelt kit and i would recommend a water pump at the same time

Mines on 40k too but coming up to 4 years. Think timing is out too.

Can get the pump and kit from TPS for £70ish. That damn hydraulic thing is £75. But worth it I suppose
