Its got 2 substantial bolts to hold it in place not clips ,
it isn't going to fall off :-)

Mine arrived today and it is a well made, substantial piece of kit.

If people are not convinced that is entirely their prerogative but I am happy. All I can do is repeat that it's a very sturdy, nicely made item and for the price of less than a tank of juice it's worth it in my view.

Not sure what the cable tie is for thought!

Cable tie is included to check 0.5 - 1mm gap between crankshaft pulley and kit itself, so pulley is not touching, rubbing agains metal piece of kit, but you could use anything else if you wish. You shouldnt need it as kit is made very accurate and fits exactly, where it should, but just double check before turning engine.
Also please note there is no need to remove existing plastick belt cover, as additional kit will fit on top on that. All you have to do is remove old M7 bolt on right hand side of pulley and use new one with kit.
Also it will be easier if you try those two M10 bolts alone without kit first, get them halfway through, remove them and then go with kit on.
Hope this helps.

Hi Element888. I can not contact you directly because I have not done over 30 posts. If you contact me directly with your details I have a PayPal account to pay you. Thanks David.

All kits sold now, last one been sent out today. May I remind members, who will put orders in near future - price is GBP 55 and not less. If you choose to send money via Goods or Service not Family or Friends Paypal is charging his fees, where I get around GBP 52. If you send money via Family or Friends, there is no fee. Thanks to members who understood this and put extra towards fees or sent money as payment to Family or Friends.

Having long since given up doing work on cars, I took my car to the local garage where I get my car serviced to fit the kit and check rear shock absorbers because my caravan has been pitching when towing

The £28 (inc VAT )charge says it all, garage said it was easy to fit but they have a four post ramp and removed the undertray first. Looks like a substantial piece of kit which I hope is never called into use. Shockers were OK too. The £28 also included checking whether the holes were present before I bought the kit.
