cam belt change
« on: 22 January 2010, 23:22:01 »
Hi there,
I live in the Ashfield area of Notts, can any of you guys recommend a good place to get my belt and any other  requiired bits changed on my 2.5 v6 Elite. Also got a weep on one of the rear shockers (self adjusting) anyone know the best price for a pair of these?
Many thanks

PM Darth Loo-knee, Jamesv6cdx or MarksDTM... They'll be the cheapest and by far the best :y :y

My MOT is due soon but could be available after that, might even have the cam belt kit you need in the garage.

Rear shock £114.00 retail or £72.71 with TC each.

Get your water pump done at the same time and replace the auxilliary belt bearing too (Bitter voice of experience there!)

Is that fitted or for parts only?
