Post by: FunkyGeordie on 08 December 2010, 04:48:11

I have only just bought an Omega (1 week ago) and the timing belt has gone. I have a quote off the garage off £500 to £600,was just wondering if this was a correct estimate or way off :o

Sounds about right for a garage to do it. Save a couple of hundred doing it yourself with a 2nd hand head from a scrapyard.

Sounds right, but on that age and spec of car the repair is going to be worth more than the car, so I'd look at a DIY fix....

I'll do it for half of that if you get me a head.
