so that leaves you £400 better off

£100 belt, tensioners

£3 cam belt change dvd

£297 for beer  :D

even going to a reputable garage should see you better off (well it would up here)  if you are not happy doing it yourself.

My local dealer quoted me £425 all in last year when i had the same done on the car i have at the moment.. can't have gone up that much so... i'll leave it with my dealer coz I'm rubbish at fixing) Instead I'll sit in the pub while they are doing it, won't have as much to spend on the beer but i know the car will run when i get it back...lol.

AA offer extra warranty for approx £65 I might consider it for peace of mind.

Apart from the colour coz I prefer silver looked a good buy but somebody beat me too it.

that is nice on an 02 plate too, 38k so same situation you are in with your new one - due a major service and that cambelt/ tensioner.

agree about the colour, in my opinion silver and black are the dogs dangly bits  :)

It was the mileage that drew me to  the car... but silver was always in my head.
