FFS Dave, posts like this certainly aren't making the wait any easier!
Last update I had the production date was sitting as 16/04/14 and expected delivery 20/05/14 and status 1200 scheduled for production :(
Dave, how are you finding the manual box? Did you test drive both?
I've gone with the manual at this stage but the general consensus seems to be that this is the wrong choice lol
Yeah mate, had a look after I called them.
£380 for the timing belt and £220 for 36k service. So I suppose an extra £170 for the dephaser and water pump (150+70) isn't bad, but not exactly a bargain!
Unfortunately not as great a selection of specialists in Scotland!
Had a quick look at the cost of the parts online, £500ish:
Cambelt kit £142
Aux belt kit £72
Water pump £67
Dephaser pulley £153
Service kit £30
Oil £30-50
Charging about £270ish labour then. Suppose not too bad depending on...

Cheers, will give them a call!

If I end up getting all belts, water pump, dephaser, service etc is that something that could be done in a...
The water pump has started leaking on my car. Apparently it just runs from the aux belt, so there's no need to change the timing belt at the same time?
Both belts were last changed at 47000 miles in 2009 so will be due again in 2014.
Would I be better just to have both the belts done again at...
