    timing belt?

    when changing the timing belt is it ok to re-use the pulley and the idler wheel if they look ok or is it best to pay the £30 odd for both pulleys and be done with it??

    fai are oe for alot of manufacturers, i would say there one of the best. motorquip are ok, but i'd get belt pulleys and tensioner everytime. unless the cars worth nothing and its not a particually dificult engine to rebuild, or your selling it or something then its up to you. imo change the lot
