May 2009 at 21:18 Does anyone have any quotes for a cambelt kit and then the cost of having it fitted to an Omega from a Vauxhall dealership? If so - which dealership (city / town will do). Also does anyone also know the book & trade price for a cambelt kit? Many thanks in advance Gareth

May 2009 at 21:28 i would avoid a Vx dealer like the plague! Over priced and often not a good job. Post up asking if anyone can help you, cambelts are beyond me, but quite a few people here can help you

The one in Northwich is Arnold Clarke Thumbs Up!

they're all over the bloody place now! Have you ever Googled Arnold Clarke? Arnoldsucks.com seems to have now been taken over by the porn industry..... there were some very savory comments about the whole chain of command not giving a monkey left .... once they got your money, and then fobbed you off with every excuse you could think of.

Arnoldsucks etc has moved to here ....http://www.arnoldclark.150m.com/html/mail74.htm
