Cam belt nightmare please help!
I have a 1.125 ltr ford fiesta from 1999. I have done 110,000 miles so am in desperate need of a new cam belt. I have bought a cam belt for �15 and know someone who will fit it for �40. I keep being told that my car needs a "kit" not just a cam belt replacement. What does this mean, where can i get one and how much is it going to cost? Please help, im so confused!

Your wrong MAD BUTCHER !
It costs over �700 to change a cambelt on an Espace because the engine has to come out, many cars cost over that.
Oil filters are nothing to do with the cambelt ELVIS.
The price is good in the question but fit the kit and make sure the "someone" knows what their doing, one mistake and it will cost a lot to repair.

basically it is better to fit a complete timing belt kit given the mileage and age of the car, the kit will contain the belt any tensioners and any roller guides which will also need to be replaced, if the belt also drives the water pump itw maybe worth having this replaced also, bearing in mind that the newly fitted and tensioned belt will put this under added stress.
