Title: Cam belt change, who can do it for me ?
Post by: bigdods on 02 August 2010, 14:24:12
Well its nearly that time again, due a cam belt in 5000 miles , I know there are a few people on here that do a good price on a cam belt fitting, so if anyone fancies a trip to brackley in the next 5-6 weeks and can do the job for a good price I'm waiting to bite your hand off !

Water pump was changed at last cam belt change so doesnt need doing this time

Cheers

To add my sentiments - Daz (DLK) did a good job on my car, and I'd have no hesitation to ring him should I need his services again. :y

So what's the damage likely to be for a belt & water pump change? No rush - got several thousand miles to go yet.

PM Sent to Daz, just got back from my hols. After all that praise I will naturally be expecting that:

My Slightly blowing exhaust manifold will magically be fixed
Power will increase by approx 200%
Fuel consumption will now be 50mpg
Everything will be polished and shiny under the bonnet.

I think thats a reasonable set of assumptions given the god like status of daz  ;)

You're more likely to come back from making a cuppa to find he's sprayed the engine bay pink! ;D ;D ;)

Daz has just done mine this week, from watching him work on something I am very fussy about get him booked in! Just make sure that your expansion tank is a pristine white or he will have a moan. Also have plenty of coffee in and some earplugs for your self. ;) ;)

So have you ordered one then? ;D I want a full apology when you have fitted it and you then agree with me ;D

I have one of those bean to cup machines like they use in coffee shops. It can be provided in regular, espresso, latte or intravenous form.

Update - Daz has been and worked his magic , new cam belt and kit and its running smoother than ever before. Even the lumpy idle in ECO has improved (maybe timing was off ?) so nice one daz  :y I am well chuffed.

Sorry Daz, the pristine white expansion tank will have to wait, too busy trying to sort the leaking aircon. Changed those seals but fluid started gushing out of the pipe under the ABS unit when I tried to have it regassed. :'( :'(

Worse than that my sanity is wavering - I am thinking I may get the tank ordered and the 'only slightly less than pristine white' one can transfer to the old silver miggy  :D :D

The blue beastie is running a treat - thanks for doing the belt etc...  ;)

Didn't the leak show up when they vaccumed the system out before refilling?

Sorry for the thread hijack!

Not sure, the guy said he had to put a bit of fluid and dye in to see where it was leaking? I have now found the leak - pin hole in the pipe under the ABS unit and battery shelf.
