172 Cambelt, Aux Belt and Dephaser pulley change - Yorks/Lincs/Humberside

[ashbe84]

Hi
I have just hold of a really nice 172 on an 02 plate with only 81k miles on. Belts etc were last changed at 65k, but like to get them done again just to be on safe side. It be a shame to ruin a nice car if they snapped!
Can anyone recommend someone in Yorkshire/Humberside/Lincs area who would do a good job as most places i have spoken to don't have a clue!
Thanks

How many years ago were they done.
Why pay £600 if they don't need doing?

Where are you based buddy? Failry large area you have given! ha

I would rather be safe than sorry! Lady i got car from said it was done at 65k but no proof so don't want to risk it. Car is great and wouldn't like to break it...

DTM is up the A1 form you and meant to be very good, and well priced too. Or you could travel to Leeds - a few there too.

DTM is in Durham, i would recommend them or diamond motors.

R S Murray in Leeds or his son Paul Murray at RS tuning also in Leeds

Yep. Not cheap though..

But done properly. Why should anyone expect a specialist to be cheap?

RS Murray wanted nearly £200 more than BTM for the same work.

Both 'specialist' so go figure!

RS Murray are outrageously expensive. Used out of necessity a couple of time always walk away feeling robbed.

This.

DDC in Doncaster are Renault specialists but I've read mixed reviews on here.

We charge £550 to do this job with a dephaser but if you want to shop around feel free. More information on what we do can be found on our website at...

Well worth the 2.5hr journey down to Mick I reckon. Never had any work done there myself but know plenty that have. Have only ever heard good things about his work.

I think i will travel to Mick to have it done as reviews are spot on and don't mind travelling. Just got a few bits to sort out then it be ready to roll...

Thanks everyone...
