   Hi,
   
   Would you guys recommend me uprating my cambelt as I am fitting a mild fast road cam?

   I'm sure they're fairly cheap so yes, why not

   @CampDavid Cheers buddy
   
   Now to find someone who sells them at a reasonable cost, any suggestions?

   A quick google search and a CB15 from Kent is what you're after. £30 from pugspares. Doubtless other places do them. Never bought from Pugspares so can't vouch for them (not heard anything bad either)

   Cheers for the linky David.
   
   This is my shopping list for this up coming cam change, wonder if you could give it a once over: -
   
   1. Oil change (5w-40 fully synth)
   2. Citroen Oil Filter
   3. NGK Sparks
   4. Full head gasket set (Just incase)
   5. New "branded" cambelt
   6. Cambelt tensioner
   7. Vernier Pulley
   8. Antifreeze
   9. Oil seal
   10. Water pump
   
   I think I may of gone over board as the car has only covered 65k
