Where To Get Cambelt Done

[billywizzo]

Hi

Just upgraded from a 1997 2.0 petrol to a 2002 1.9 diesel galaxy.

The service book has an entry saying cambelt changed at 80000 and car has done 90000.

There is no stamp so i am going to get it done just in case along with a major service.

Can anyone suggest where the best place to get it done and a price to expect.

phone the dealer up(which stamped the book)and inquire about what history they have on the car if so ask them to send you a print out for your records.i did with mine when i bought and found out they had changed the belt on mine.which saved me a fair bit.

In the service book it just says cam belt with mileage and date but no stamp and nothing else was done on that date or mileage, it was in between services according to the book.

But the last for services either were not stamped or the stamp cannot be read.

It probably has been done but i just would rather be safe than sorry.

None of the later stamps can be read so cannot phone anyone.

I have had a car that the cam belt went on and it cost a lot more than 370 to fix.

I am in surrey near brooklands.

Hi Billy

 

I know of a good mechanic with his own business near Fairfields Airport in Chobham so not too far from you.

 

He used to work for MG Rover and I used him when I had my MG TF (pre kids days). He did a cam belt for me on one of them which is a right pain in the arse and was about
