Where to get gaskets & timing chain from??

[rlees85]

ok went down to nissan today for some prices for a lil' project im wanting to do on my car.

They quoted me:

Head gasket: 27
Manifold Gaskets (inlet and exhaust): 36
Timing chain(higher & lower + tensioners): 143

Now thats just a pee take imo. Do you know anywhere else i could source these parts?

thanks

Local motor factors should be able to do gaskets for you!

the only place to get the chain at all is nissan i payed 70 +vaty for the chain with the top adjuster, it was 35 +vat extra for the bottom one the gasket set you can get from motor factors or at worst halfrauds, i went to a motor factors and it was bout 50 fotr a full head set

yeah i should get the gaskets reasonably priced, i think ill just stick with my current timing chain, its quiet as anything, i was just thinking if im havin me engine in bits it'd b worth changing but 150 quid aint worth it if its quiet neways....
