My steelers are not even half that. Got mine done at the same time as a pulley and it came to under 300! (before anyone asks, im not getting mixed up with the auxillary belt either)

PMSL @ you.

yeah, another clever forum user - had a cam belt done on ex comp car 182 clio and wow the garage did the belt, tensioner and aux belt on it in 1hr and 55 mins, whilst I sat there and waited, - or I am making it up cos I am bored?
Why get upset over someone who has facts that maybe disagreeing with your own opinions? Maybe the dealers you take your cars to are just getting the YTS apprentises to work on your cars, hence they will charge you book time of 4+ hours. Who knows and who cares, that the price, thats the time - job done.

good for you, caps lock cos I couldnt be bothered to take it off - not that makes any difference. Bt well done, I am sure the guy who posted the orginal thread will be chuffed with the waster responses left - inc me cos I am bothering to respond!
And I use a company I trust and was just passing that on, if it does not meet your ideals well fine so be it, but critise and go on cos someone else has made a suggestion, after all it is a forum.
If you use someone who is top notch and trust worthy, maybe you could promote and recommend on here so those not part of the "in crowd" could use them!

Thats good, so you above many will know what an exageration and over hype the book times which many quote off is total balls and nothing more than a rip off.

Right, just before we hi-jack this thread totally with mindless crap and as I was focusing on not typing with CAPS LOCK on, I must have missed your link to this "place" so would you mind relinking it?

Tbf i did mine in 4 and half hours at home on my drive having never done one before. spend along time checking and double checking everything so could definatley do another one quicker but think under two hours is going some. When i worked at Ford doing old shape Transit vans all day we could half the book times on pretty much every job cos we did it day in day out
Book time for a clutch was over two hours, could do them in 45mins
Book time for cambelt was 1.3 hours could do them in 30mins
But again imo under two hours for f4r cambelt is good going

Paahahah, using Genuine parts your 'Skilled Techy' will be making about £5 profit.
Changing tensioners? Idlers? Water Pump + Coolant if needed? are they even using the locking tools?
On axle stands me and another lad (12 years at Rover)
214 Clutch from jacking up to letting the jack out - 45mins
KV6 Cambelt from jacking up to letting the jack out - 3 belts, aux belt, new stretch bolts, new end caps - under 2 hours. Remaining Rover dealers want the car for 2 days and want the engine out ahahahahahahah, we start about 20 to 10am, finished at 11.25am.
Thats on axle stands aswell.
