1.5dci(86) Cambelt Advice

[AS400]

Just bought this as a cheap little runaround. No evidence of the cambelt having been changed in the documentation.

Its only done 45K but on an 07 plate, do you think I can wait until 60K on the mileage or should I get it done now taking into account mileage?

Not sure what else needs changing when they do this?...Renault have quoted me £480 (SMC Woking)....how does that compare to a good independant?...I am Guildford area.

Actually Renault came back with an offer of £957 to include the waterpump!

As this kit retails for £110 on Ebay has anyone used a competant Renault specialist to get this job done? Ideally Surrey area?

Tell them to check there fixed pricing, £399 for both belt kits. Water pump and coolant on top should be another £100 ish. Where abouts are you? Ive done a few dci belts for people on here.

Sorry I tried to edit a post and it ended up duplicating it.

Have it booked into Two Techs for the cambelt change, they have quoted £336 without the waterpump and £477 with it.
