Cambelt Changes at VX Dealerships
« on: 23 May 2009, 21:18:57 »

Does anyone have any quotes for a cambelt kit and then the cost of having it fitted to an Omega from a Vauxhall dealership? If so - which dealership (city / town will do).

Also does anyone also know the book & trade price for a cambelt kit?

Many thanks in advance

There are many people on here mate who will do that job for you, better than a Vx dealer will do it and a hell of a lot cheaper too........?

Kits for a V6 around £60-£70 on Ebay

i would avoid a Vx dealer like the plague! Over priced and often not a good job.

Post up asking if anyone can help you, cambelts are beyond me, but quite a few people here can help you  :y

they're all over the bloody place now! Have you ever Googled Arnold Clarke? Arnoldsucks.com seems to have now been taken over by the porn industry..... there were some very savory comments about the whole chain of command not giving a monkey left .... once they got your money, and then fobbed you off with every excuse you could think of.


Arnoldsucks etc has moved to here ....http://www.arnoldclark.150m.com/html/mail74.htm
