So after looking at the alternator thread I e-mailed max overdrive to find out their prices on the timing belt replacement parts. They are way cheaper as far as I can see. What do you guys think of parts from Germany?

Interesting! That's big savings with the German parts. I wonder if there are any comments over on POCUK comparing OEM to German?

I already have a few OEM parts from eBay in anticipation of changing everything out this spring. Your research is timely. thanks!

Use Mardy from the Delica.ca site: PM me for his number he has a Mitsubishi connection for OEM parts from Japan and the Phillipines. He is way better to deal with than the Max guy. He cares about the quality of the stuff he sells. Buy the original Mitsu made in Japan belts they are only about $10 more or so.

I am sure there is a trick with prices.

I needed gasket set (about 12 pieces) for fuel pump. They told me it will be set from Germany, but I found empty box from Italy...
They sold it with one condition, it should be installed by them...

I waited two times for 40-60 minutes, it was not ready. They took Pajero to the secret shop about 100 km away from Richmond...

Interesting, are they willing to sell smth without installation?

Ya I don't trust them much either (gave me a bad feeling and lied to me). It is just too bad that they are soo much cheaper <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

DONT DEAL WITH MAX OVERDRIVE! THEY ARE CRIMINALS!

I will have to post a thread on this I think but here is the story. I found an Irmshir edition Isuzu Bighorn that I was really intersted located at thier dealership. I had a friend go lookat it for me since he is on the coast. He took it for a drive and said it seemd to drive OK but there was a noticable hum coming from underneath that he couldn't figure out. He said he really didn't trust the guys at the dealership as they seemd that they were hiding something. It apparently was all safety inspected and ready to be registered and insured. Not trusting them he took the vehicle to his dads mechanic shop to have them inspect it. A quick visual underneath revealed numerous problems including an engine and transmission leak and the most obvious of all and the result of the hum, the transfer case was partially being held on by zip ties. The hum was a misaligned transfer case that would fall off sooner than later im thinking. This is the kind of business that these guys are running.

Good luck if you choose to buy anything from them but thats the kind of practise that should be noted by all.

I bought all of the same parts from Terra 2 Imports and it was a little over 400 bucks I think but had the parts within a couple of days. I think they were in between max overdrive and rockymountain for pricing. Contact Nick or Gerry there for a quote. They have been good to me.

Check out Mardy's Prices. For the most part they are great.

I think you are seriously mistaken, what parts you are talking about? We don't sell any parts that is required installation by us. Looks like you are making up something or dreaming.

Before you think this way, why don't you stop by at our shop. If we charge customers arm and leg, it is not fair and if we invest $25,000 in Mitsubishi parts and we are the cheapest you don't like it either, what is your problem man?
