bungy Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I booked mine in for a decent service involving cambelt and all fluids with necessary filters and all the normal checks and that will be just over £500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're supposed to change the cam belt every five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. It's not a disaster if the belt snaps though. Just means the car is stranded where it happened and you'd have to get it trailered to somwhere for new belt to be fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I had a major service at Chris Wilsons. New fluids, new disks front and rear + brake pads, new battery, full checkover and lots of other work, came out at just over £1k but well worth it.
