Belt and tensioner kit in the UK?

[Arctic Wolf]

I can't be the first person to realise how difficult it is to find a belt, tensioner, and water pump kit for a 1UZ in the UK? Outside of Lexus dealerships.

Where do all you Brits get them from? Do you order from abroad? If so where?

Any help appreciated.

Key point is your knowledge of original part number

I bought my timing belt/tensioner/water pump kit from the states, if you use a supplier that includes "Customs services and international tracking" you know the exact cost before ordering and there are no delays through customs. Although the delivery date is often quoted as 3 weeks, I have never waited more than 10 days and often it is within a week.

Cheers guys I appreciate the help. I have since found out that Total Motor Factors sell the kit. But no other motor factors do. And even TMF list the water pump as obsolete.

I've noticed a kit from Oz includes a "seal kit." That's a crank shaft seal I'm guessing, but what else would it be? Should I be looking to do any seals too before the installation of the engine?
