replacing the cam belt myself
As per the title, I am going to replace the cam belt myself after reading through the "how to"that I found on here, my question is, can anyone please recommend a good supplier of quality belts/tensioner's' parts that I will need, what/who have you guys used when you did your belt, would rather have someone give me a recommendation than just go the usual supply chain way.
Thanks in advance.

Dayco are the original manufacturer of the belts, tensioners, and cam pulleys. As above Advanced factors will stock these as well as the required locking tools, and don't forget the forum discount yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

I would also recommend changing the oil pump at the same time. If it’s never been done. There is a strengthened type.
Otherwise they can fail shortly after belt change

Water pump is driven from accessory belt
Oil pump casing is part of the cambelt tensioner mounting

Sorry, I meant oil pump... I have had a quick look on the site, and it seems to list 2 types of pump?
How do I know which one for my motor?
Just ring them and whoever answers just give them your reg or vin number, the guys know what they are doing there.
Just get the full kit.

You’ll probably need a special tool to remove the viscous fan. They’re a otherwise.
Check that you have the upgraded oil pump.
Replace crank and tensioner bolts .
Torque bolts to spec....massively important.
Replace the water pump, doesn’t cost much.
Lock the flywheel. Do-able without,but not advisable.
Enjoy and good luck
