I have a 1.8 EU2 VPHD engine and need the following. Can anyone suggest sources cheaper than Caterham (probably not too hard)... (caterham prices in brackets, includes VAT)

HT leads (42)
throttle cable (33)
clutch cable (25)
cam belt (25)

scavenge hose 1" i.d. (31)

Have you got a local APD (Auto Parts Distribution)? Or other Auto Factor?

Cambelt (and HT leads I think) will be standard Rover parts. I believe Halfords do them although I doubt they'll be the cheapest.

Everything else is most likely bespoke, so you'll probably struggle unless you want to go 2nd hand... which I'd imagine would defeat the point! You could try having a closer look at the parts to see if you can spot a manufacturer.
