Just got a quote!

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

Went to the local garage were i use to do work expiriance, and just got a quote for my cambelt.

Like you have all probably herd its done 50k and is 7 yrs old, the car is in lovely condition tho!

250 pound all in...

is this a good price?

 

[ChrisPearson]

souns aright if you shop around you might get it down by about 30 but not much

 

[mini-valver]

Is that including Aux belt?



Have you got Air con?

 

[CH33MA]

yeah dont sound to bad, you mite wanna get it done soon though seems like your over the required date.

 

[Timmay]

get it done !

 

[ChrisPearson]

i should really get mine done too.What garage is that qoute from?

 

[gazbenger]

Victoria in the village ^ (Where i go)

 

[ChrisPearson]

the billage?i love that place

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

lol, yeh, erm yeh i have air con why what is an aux belt?

 

[mini-valver]

The aux belt needs doing at the same time, if that goes, it takes your new cambelt with it. Air con models have a more complex aux belt, still gotta come off to do the cambelt though so you'll only have to pay for the belt and tensioners. PM SBV116

 

[ditz]

yeah sounds about right, i wouldn't charge much less even as a private job.

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

so i need to mention the aux belt too then? bloody hell, i just done understand how like old women now about this 5hit its ridiculus!

 

[Fred@BTM]

do they have the renault cambelt locking tools?

you'll need new cam seals too (£11)

pm your reg and i'll price up the parts

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

why would you need my reg?
surely id take it to the garage drop it off and they fix it

 

[Fred@BTM]

i have 24hour access to the renault parts system, i was only offering to price up the parts for you! don't bite my head off

 

[mini-valver]

LOL! dotJdotAdotMdotEdotSdot Listen to people, believe it or not, no-ones out to rip you off. Please yourself. Happy motoring.

gucci stuff! wish i had that

 

[172blue]

Make sure you take it somewhere who knows that you need special tools, aux belt and cambelt changing. It may cost you £400, but that is what it costs! Painful I know, just unlucky it has'nt been done before, or rather lucky it has'nt broken, needing £1300 of work!!

Cam/aux is well known to be expensive. You will just have to bite the bullet...

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

this is a f**king joke, its not worth having a car

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

i have 24hour access to the renault parts system, i was only offering to price up the parts for you! don't bite my head off

in the question....

"why would you need me reg?"

please explain how it compares to biting your head off?

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

mini what...?

 

[cat171]

Fred needs your reg to bring up your car on the screen so he can price up for you. He is not going to come round & steal your car or something lol.

The dude knows his stuff.

No offence here, but you were on here asking stuff before you got it, then you bought it without any of the things like the cambelt done, things that should have been done ages ago.

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

fred i have PMD you

As above, I had a major service inc. aux and cambelt plus a dodgy earthed rear light fixed for less than £350 by SBV116 & co @ Birchdown.

Really happy with there service.

[gazbenger]

f**king hell! The prices Fred got were if you were buying the parts to change the cambelt yourself...If you take it to the garage they'll provide the parts
