MG MGF Technical - TF115, original camshaft timing belt. Dayco?

Do you know belt builder name?

I have to change camshaft timing belt and the other "services belt" in my TF115 MG car.
Repairer want to fit the "original spare part" supplied by MG-Rover group (a sort of "camshift kit") because he thinks not-original spare parts are not so good and they can have problems and give problems with timing syncro because are a little different from the original fit one. I can have Dayco belts and accessory and I want to know if Dayco is the original MG-Rover builder or if its parts are different. If Dayco is not original supplier I pose an other question:
someone fit Dayco belt and accessory in his mgtf? do(es) he/they meet problems?

Thanks to you all

Original MG Rover belts are made by 'Gates'. Can be bought direct from Gates through a supplier.
Non-original belts should'nt cause a timing problem.
I personally would'nt use anything except a genuine 'Gates' belt but it's your car so it's your choice.

Hi Cnerone,

You should still easily get these parts from the importer - they are still listed by X-Part as service agents.
