Volvo 960 Timing Belt Kit
Some background is required I think, as part of this review: in a 'previous life', I was a professional mechanic for just a few years. I witnessed the rapid transition from cars designed before the 1970s, to the forerunners of what is now the leading edge of car technology. During the short transition period, the general emphasis by manufacturers on car design, swung from longevity and durability of the car, to what is often referred to as "pre-planned obsolescence" - to insure that the manufacturers would always have a ready market and demand for their recently superseded models.
The new ethic in automotive manufacturing, that was increasingly directed towards consolidating the revenue stream of car makers - often at the expense of quality - especially in lower cost cars had a particularly nasty side effect: lack of structural integrity, through the quest for improved economy by using lighter gauge and on occasion inferior structural design and materials, resulted in drastic reductions in safety - again mainly in "lower spec" or entry level cars.
I saw the 'writing on the wall' and got out of the trade. Today, cars are generally safer than ever before - but a 'cheap fix' is in play: heavy reliance is placed on air bags, crash padding and electronic devices that apparently provide increased levels of safety. Regrettably, people are still being badly injured and worse, through on occasion relatively minor crashes; structural integrity - or lack thereof is the culprit - resulting from poor quality materials and budget designing that features ever increasing ratios of plastics and glass to good quality steel / fibreglass and even aluminium.
Anyway, the Volvo 960 that I saved from the knackers yard, has a mere quarter of a million clicks on the clock. This model, an expensive 'flag ship' car, was (at least in the US) probably the only car that was ever sold with a free $250,000 life insurance policy.
I rest my case.

Indispensible for competent wiring done properly.
Fuses need good holders to be efficient overload devices. These are well made and very reasonable in cost - a rare combination.

Good High Spec Leads at affordable Cost.
These are for a dual fuel Discovery, with about a quarter of a million on the clock. These types of motor, even when new, require a good reliable ignition system, when running on LPG. The leads are nice and , flexible and the specs are impressive, as to overall diameter, and internal structure, which seems to be normally only available with more expensive leads.
