Default Australia sucks

I'm trying to help this guy in Dubai. His car is an Accord Vi coupe with
the JDM 2.2L DOHC F22B (rare!).

All he needs to know is the part numbers for the timing belt and some
related components, so he can buy new and replace old. The Dubai dealer is
being *less* than helpful, since the car was not bought in Dubai.

I emailed NINE dealers in Australia, explaining the situation and asking if
any of them had access to the Asian-market database that would give us the
part numbers.

Do you know that NOT ONE has got back to me? If there are any 'Strines
lurking here, you should be aware your countrymen practice really lousy
customer service. How the hell does your country even function?

Posting "Australia Sucks" is redundant, but are you sure this vehicle
doesn't have a timing chain?

Their beer tastes the same as most American/Canadian/Mexican swill, so...

It very much has a belt. Honda hadn't got around to chains in 1994.

once in a while - why not ask one of them? the aussies are all at the
beach at this time of year.
