well if you turned around and said, " I bought that kit last year and the cambelt snapped" or " the water pump failed " then that would get my attention but when u are just going on hearsay and have no proof of them failing then I cant really listen to your pointless comment Someone could...

:cry: you say that but do you know that these fail quicker or are you just saying that coz they are not O.E ???? any proof of them failing quicker ? yes , im buying them £80 or so

well im not buying, my dad has heard me moaning about how much this car is going to cost me and has offered to but the kit for me , so feel bad saying the £300 option is the best He obviously wants to save money as well
