I don't think it'd be worth the cost to develop and produce a kit to fit, they need a sealed casing and an oil feed not just the 6 pulleys (2 x cam, one crank, idler tensioner, as well as a water pump)change the belt more often and use o.e quality is the only answer really in my opinion. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Oh the belt would be changed but I was talking to a mate who changed from belts to chains as they are more reliable (?) but one thing that baffled me was that he said the chains ran dry and didn't need any lubrication?! |

Me and mark were talking about this at the last meet but it would be expensive to develop.Unless you do a lot of miles, ________________________________________  You feed beefburgers to swans.  I may have been speeding Mr Policeman but [a] I live for the 306 and [b] did you see that dog? omfg |
