Emphasises the point even more then Danny, don't you think? My prices were all approximate from memory. So to quote given, garage is giving 6 hours labour for free, and taking a loss of around £130.

Tools are around £150 iirc, cambelt kit £120 ish say, aux belt kit £100 (can't remember real prices of kits). You must be a good mate of this mechanic, if he's giving you 4 hours of his time and taking a £70 loss mate... Doesn't add up pal, that's all I'm saying.

C'mon stokedkid, needs an update!!!

Don't worry about washing car mate, how do you thin people with open cone filters go on???

Cutting 2x holes in a PHS 1 bumper wouldn't cut it for me mate. Wouldn't look right due to factory shape, ie with little bit missing. Better to do on a PHS 2 bumper, or leave as Papa intended FTW;)

PM'd;)

If you were takin it somewhere else mate, was gonna drop you a pm, just a little experiment...

Where are you going for belts Danith???

Basically what I was trying to say, just threw in another point for discussion :o

This is the type of thing I was on about. As said, not sure how accurate. Was only on about guage as well, not fuel used. Also I guess it's possible to fill beyond last mark on guage, so gives a false impression, as to what is 1/2 a tank. Psychological nonsense or reality?? Discuss?? Has no-one...

Can't remember reasons why, as I'm a bit thick and it's early:S Try putting in more than a tenner, as 2nd half of tank always go's quicker than 1st. So if you put in say £40 or £50 and then divide by four or five, just to see if on average you're getting more than at present. Just a thought..

Vert arty pic....love it !! Could be straight from Renault parts brochure.. To the OP, cost of locking tools, + cost of cam and aux belt kits = Not even worth considering doing it yourself for me(if that's what you're planning). £450 for change all in.

Hello and welcome mate;) £2K will get you a very good example of a phase 1 172. Just need to not rush in, and be prepared to wait a little. As already said some go for next to nothing, where others are overpriced IMO. Main issue now will be that should have had 2x belt changes unless you get a...

Hello and welcome mate;) Ps. Can I have your garage??

Looking good mate;) Each to their own, but I'd be leaving alloys as they are...

I presume you're gonna take it to a specialist mate... Birchdown prob's nearest to you. Around £450 all in without dephaser pulley.

This mate^^^^ Stick with Nankangs for now, and put money towards belts. As said Michelins although very good, are not essential and are expensive. Other tyres which are just as good can be found for less money...

Get yourself on eBay Bob!! Driver and passenger both finishing today, not sure which parts are in the sale though, but worth an email..

I would guess if no receipt mate, it hasn't been done. Meaning you need to be spending some money pronto...
