There are specialists on here that will sort you out for around £600.

Any company on here i would have thought will only supply and fit a cam belt kit tbh, your best bet is to have a look whos nearest to you.

I had mine done a couple of years ago, it was about £430 for cam and aux belt. I believe prices have since increased.

best off taking it to renault mate

Bad advice.

100% Birchdown dude. Nowhere else. Malpas is 15 mins from Chester I think. They charge what they should, if you get a quote cheaper elsewhere then they won't be doing it properly. Budget 450-500 approx + 170 if the dephaser pulley is worn (sounds like a diesel)

Another vote for birchdown

 

[MikeoftheQuays]

If you're in Chester there's absolutely no reason not to use Birchdown. Their reputation is impeccable. IMO even if they were dearer than other places it'd still be worth taking it to them just for the peace of mind that it had been done properly. As said, anyone who offers it significantly cheaper probably isn't doing it right.

I spoke to Renault and they was £643 for the cambelt and aux to be done, birchdown are closed today

 

[DrR]

As above, i'm another Birchdown user, ask them about borrowing their van for the day to as you'll need to leave the car there.

But seriously don't go to Renault. Which one did you phone, i'm impressed they even knew what a 182 was.


Any links to the advert? I'm sure CS will spot any other potential problems with it as that cambelt is well overdue.
