Wtd- TC assisstance
30. Jul 2010 at 23:05

I need some service items and would appreciate TC prices.

Y Reg 2.2 Ltr

Cambelt
water pump
Engine oil
oil filter x 2
Sump plug
Cabin filter
Fuel filter

R reg 3.0 Ltr

Cambelt
Water pump
Engine oil
oil filter x 2 (currently converting from paper filter element to cartridge)
Sump plug

I don't mind buying 4 for 3 on the oil as I will be doing a couple of short changes.

Jul 2010 at 10:02 On the 3.0l, I think the current concensus is to use a gates/skf based kit, as the GM one is a bit dear now. Probably same with water pump, as GM got silly with prices. Probably too far, but I have TC. I believe the likes of Auto Addict has TC as well, who may be closer.

You asked a valid question, I have a new fuel filter to sell, but under the new rules I can't advertise it for sale because I don't know what a fair price would be. Please someone let me have a TC price as a starting point.

Thanks for the info on the oil. The filters are less than £2 on TC

I'm in no hurry at the moment.
