Cambelt, front discs and pads...

[Jordi17]

When i started my car up today i noticed a noise coming from the cambelt, it has done 68k and i dont think the cambelt has been changed. So i will be taking it to renault to get it changed. Does anybdy know how much they will charge for a 1.2 cambelt. Also while i am there, i will be getting them to change my front brake discs and pads, does anyone know what price i will be looking at?

Lots lol!

Cambelt is alot, i have figures of 300 - 600 in my head so I wont say.

Discs and pads are so boringly easy you might as well do it your self, save a packet on labour charges and rip off standard pads and discs. All IMO.

you think that much!! i was hoping around £200 on a 1.2 FFS!! i probably could get someone to do my discs and pads but not certain. Gave renault a call today but they never called back, will give them a god tomorow. My dads cambelt change cost £500 on a 2.0!!

On my 1.2 it cost £200 from a local garage, so £200-£400 at various renault garages i suspect, but tbh you can get a low mileage 1.2 16v engine online for £150-£200. So ts cheaper to replace the engine when its funked.

mmmmm, looks like i will have a hefty bill then.

When i say the cambelt makes a noise, does this normally happen when it needs changing??
