Seller advised the same - thanksUsed more than a few blue box cam belt kits on my own 200s, all been okay.
Did you replace with Brit parts mate?LR original is £230 ...
I think the pulley etc are all from the same factory, mine was changed earlier this year and the blue parts looked very similar to original.
Yes he called them blue parts, which is quite polite compared to what some say!Did you replace with Brit parts mate?
If that 230 is for the belt/tensioner and idler pulley, I would say that is not outrageous.LR original is £230 ...

Yes, I have the non G britpart kit which I’m hesitant to fit. I asked someone else and they stated the allmakes kit bearing and idler are INA which are pretty reputable.@resto_d1 - yes, Britpart

So part numbers with a g? It gets confusing trying to sort the lesser from the better!Allmakes are owned by Britprat ...
OEM for me
Yep, as @lynall said, part numbers with suffix G are genuine. People buy the cheapest part from britpart and think its all shìte, they're a wholesaler really. Britpart supply Land Rover as wellSo part numbers with a g? It gets confusing trying to sort the lesser from the better!
Excellent. So I basically need to upgrade the kit! Thank youYep, as @lynall said, part numbers with suffix G are genuine. People buy the cheapest part from britpart and think its all shìte, they're a wholesaler really. Britpart supply Land Rover as well
Even the fasteners look better in the example on the right.
I'd go for the Britpart G suffix £104.44 kitI just purchased a cambelt kit and the pulley and tensioner were in a blue box. Does anyone have a link to known decent kit please. It’s bloody hard to dodge blue boxes!!
