Adam Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Just been down to toyota to see how much a cambelt change is. They quoted me £231 which includes parts and labour. Does anyone know of anywhere cheaper in the south east. Also asked about touch up paint. Which they said cos its an import i have to get the paint made up. Again know anywhere cheap to do this. Only need a small pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Halfords can make up any colour: it won't be a 100% match (you'll need a pro to apply it to get that), but if you give them the colour code from the VIN plate, they'll knock you up a small bottle of touch up. It takes about 10mins to make if it's metallic, and the guy making it will end up with a sore wrist afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 As mentioned above you should be able to go into any Toyota dealer and quote your paint code and just get a touch up paint. No need to say anything about imports. £231 sounds a little on the dear side for a cambelt change, too. Sounds like yet another unscrupulous dealer playing the "import" card as a license to print money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom S Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 go to http://www.turbofit.co.uk think they do a better price for a cam belt re placement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 Cheers anyway but im getting it done by rebus engineering next week. Went down there on sunday to bung the car on the rolling road recomended by burt, and they said they could do it for £150 + vat which i thought was a good price.
