Discs and pads for the front of my Astra cost me £58

cambelt, tensioner, and water pump was about £120 IIRC

crank pos. sensor... no idea

lifters.... ?? not mega ££ i shouldnt think

Altenator - get yourself down to a scrappy and find one... 30secs to remove! New belt is about £2.50

gaskets and bolts should be pounds and pence mate


then you will need some more fundage for the rest of those bits...!
