Yanto Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 About to change the timing belt on my red top, it is currently fitted with a Gates' powergrip one (5205-141x24) can anybody direct me to where I can buy one as I'm having difficulty just finding a belt. The belt and tensioners were replaced only 2k miles ago albeit that was in Jul 2013, hence why i was just going to change the belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Local motor factors should be able to get one of those. Was ~£15 at mine, compared with the £35 SBD wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenh Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 5025 indicates that it is a Gates Powergrip belt. The other numbers will indicate the dimensions of the belt. Like Adam says, any local motor factor should be able to supply the same or equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snappy Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Go to Parkers in Melton give them the numbers off the belt, details off the engine etc sorted... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrustyjust Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 There is one on ebay, which I found just by googling VX red top cambelt and had the same part numbers . From a shop rather than private sell, but obviously I dont know how old it is and its £21 delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanto Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Thanks for answers, never sure about stuff on ebay! I will contact local factors and thanks @Snappy I will contact Parkers to make sure they can supply belt only. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff oakley Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 All Gates belt in the after market come via the company I work for. As you have been informed give any good local motor factor that number and if they do not have it in stock, which is possible, we stock these. Always insist on a Gates belt IMHO but Conti and Dayco are excellent OE suppliers and supply quality parts They will try to sell you the full kit but the belt is available singularly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Eurocarparts also sell Gates and Dayco belts, not always listed, so have a look on their website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be careful with ECP as many times you will order a part assuming one make and another make will arrive, I am told by some people.

Crash test dummy Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Buy a couple and the postage becomes more reasonable: http://www.mister-auto.co.uk/en/timing-belt/gates-5205_g306_a0335205.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
