Hey Guys,

I have the dreaded Drivebelt Squeal and rattle and i've diagnosed the Water Pump Shaft Bearings, Idler Pulley and the Tensioner Pulley as well as the belt being on it's limit. :(

I've been getting prices for parts and run up against the following:

Fraud's
- £79 Water Pump
- £43.43 Drivebelt
- £37.76 Idler Pulley
- £63.28 Belt Tensioner
All Plus VAT!!!! :rolleyes:

Ebay:
- £23.45 Drivebelt
- £28.25 Idler Pulley
- £32.00 Tensioner Pulley
(No new water pump - only breaking..)

Rock Auto? £97.00 the lot (Current Exchange Rate) :D:D:D

I've heard Rock Auto banded about before for parts and as i'm buying a few parts and on a budget it makes sense for me!

Has anybody had any problems with Rock Auto and also are there any makes of parts (Dorman / AC Delco Etc) i should steer clear of?
 






I got my first Rockauto order today. Really quick delivery and crazy good prices.
 






iv had nearly 15 different items from them, fuel caps, sway bars, rubbers, crankshaft sensors etc no problems at all, fast shipping and good prices
