Navigation system & Cambelts change

[roverbarmy]

I had an escort diesel which dropped a Ford agent fitted cambelt at 3 years and three months, so I'm a bit paranoid!!!

Starting at £124.99 inc all belts and tensioners etc, or £154.99 inc waterpump.

.

Thank you for advising me. I would go for the latter price I guess. Are there any other items that would be required for the cambelts change? or is that it and I guess the price excludes vat?
Yes I would then have to find someone good, capable and reliable of carrying out the job.

Thanks for the moment and I look forward to your reply to my first qestion.

Belts are made to survive heavy work and are surprisingly tough. Had mine done 4 weeks ago at Lates600 (thank you gents, an enjoyable interlude during which I learned a lot).

However, the tensioners are where the trouble can come. My belts were indistinguishable from new but I, as a non-mechanic, wouldn't be able to tell the difference. But I could tell the difference on the tensioner. It was leaking grease through a seal and would eventually run dry and let go.

The car has done 50,00 miles since 2005 and every mile has been gentle with regular servicing. With a blown engine it would be worth scrap and I would have to start again from scratch so the cost is well, what it is! The peace of mind however is priceless.

Thanks a lot. I had trouble sending my details over so I will have to ring Mike.
