What is the best source price wise for the following for my 2001 D2?

Water pump
coolant hoses (including throttle body hose)
timing cover gasket
serpentine belt
Thermostat
Fuel Rail seals
Crankshaft position sensor
etc.

"What is the best source price wise" Ebay has it all, quality very hit or miss.

Looking at your list you will be stripping for front of the engine, how many times do you want to do it? Not being a wise *** but sometime money shouldn't be the first priority.

I purchased all of the same stuff for my 2000 a short time ago and went with British Atlantic. A lot of the stuff you are looking for was just on sale, might still be. A complete hose set will set you back $200.00 if i remember correctly.

if you pulling the timing cover you will also need and oil pan gasket and front seal.

I believe I bought a timing chain set which came with the case cover gasket, chain and gears, oil seal and pan gasket. If you pulling the case cover why not replace the chain and gears while you there? at that point it is only 2 extra bolts (i think).

For stuff like that, I shop British Atlantic. If you order it in bulk, shipping will be cheaper also I have learned with them. Since they ship small things in one large box etc.

Atlantic British, just got a box of fun goodies today... they may not always have the best price but they almost always have all that you need. So that is where I tend to go. I hate looing around or multiple shippers for a savings of a few pence. Ask them about the thermostat I had heard about folks getting some bad ones from them I suspect they have gotten rid of the batch (?) but I would ask nonetheless..

Never buy from E-Bay unless you want a bunch of China's worst crap.

First why do you need all that stuff, how many miles on your engine?

Try British Parts if Utah and realize cheap is not always the best way to go.
