Hi Mick,
You honestly havn't gone wrong anywhere with me! I am just trying to get a scope on prices in general with the companies that are more local to me, with similarly good reputations when it comes to the work carried out. Your replies were the quickest I got and have left me with lots of...
I think you're right mate! Probably would do a good job mind, but i doubt it'd be a better job as surely there's only '1' right way to do the belts/timing? Can't wait to get out with the car now!
At RSMurray they stated that "£260" is labour alone, hence the high price and that there was no movement.
Seems everyone has bad experiences at different places! I'd go RSTuning, but feel the price wont be far off RSMurray for the belts doing. Might just bite the bullet and go DDC for belts...
How much were belts/dephaser at DDC? I think it's worthwhile changing the dephaser too for the peace of mind alone.
DDC seem slightly closer to me than Clioturbo too which is good.
RSMurray wouldn't budge on the price, it did seem quite high! I just bought a service kit so would I get money...
I'm looking around to get my belts done now on my 182. Thought i'd shove some pricings up so far with full belt kit and dephaser change. RS Murray are offering £700, Clioturbo are £495, waiting on replies from RSTuning, diamond motors and DTM. What are peoples experiences with Clioturbo? Seems...
Well the SGS one arrived today and it seems to be decent quality! Not yet tried it as it's wet outside but for the price it's looking pretty good. Was quite interesting they suggest servicing of it every month and topping up with oil, how many people do that with their trolley jacks?
I read in a thread on here before someone who had got some sort of insulation/ sound proofing stuff from b&q I believe and lined his boot floor, rear doorcards with the stuff to reduce rattles and stop the road noise. Can't find it for the life of me now though!
Sorry ive only just seen this!
I made a thread on here but I havn't updated it recently as the cars at my mums in York, whilst i study in Huddersfield. http://www.cliosport.net/threads/1974-spitfire-restoration.791022/
Looking good now though, wish I had the space like you! All my works been...
Looks like it has herpes.
Such a shame though, but I guess they're not too noticeable? A respray isnt too expensive anyway ;)
That big cloth looks the orange drying towel I got from asda, similar pile depth.
Spoiler? :)
Also the vanish trick is you fill up a bucket of hot water, add vanish, unscrew the belts at the bottom and extend fully then either shut them in the door or use a peg to stop it retracting. Shove inside the bucket and agitate, leave to soak, then agitate, leave to soak then wipe...
