not had one fail, but ive been in the motor trade for 20 years,
quick price up
Head Set £130
Cam belt kit £160
Aux belt kit £130
16 valves @ £15p/v £240
Cam plugs £ 10
Labour 10hrs @£30 £300
= £970 if done at a independent garage
as long as there is no damage to the pistons or head this is roughly what it will cost
imo 2nd hand engine - £600 - £800 depending on mileage,
then you have to fit a cambelt x aux belt whilst the engine is out.
plus fitting ?
very expensive either way,
or sell car for spares or repair ?
