belt and resistor

[BIG COL]

hi guys...i am looking for 2 parts for my car... an "air-con belt", and a "silver resistor", for the fan housing.
Also, could anyone give me info on how long it takes to fit these, by a mechanic, and rough costings please.

hope i am not asking too much.

many many ta's guys

Both of these jobs are suitable for a DIY approach with few tools required, the belt is available from Mat at DMGRS on this forum for under £7 new / you don't really want a used silver resistor, but a new gold resistor again available at little cost forum trader Jules - total DIY cost less than £25 + p&p / typical garage labour cost at least £50 an hour for a small local garage and estimated 2-3 hours work likely will be quoted.

There are How To's for both available on this forum.

As above, these are items you don't really want or need to use second hand parts for.

Change both belts - not really worth the effort to change one and use good quality ones. Gates is a good name and you can get them from any car parts emporium.

I have a homemade special spanner for free loan, which makes this job much easier.

The silver resistor was not really up to the job, everyone uses an uprated gold version. It is a standard part, but most easily sourced from Jules.

The latter is a front bumper off job, so might be worth doing the intercooler O rings at the same time and possibly the intercooler hose(s) as well.
