anyone? Wanna get it organised tomorrow. Thanks

Cambelt and waterpump change is about £350-£450 from a dealer, maybe £250-£300 from an Indy, including parts and about 3 hours labour

great man cheers, are cam belt kits all alright or is there any brand to get/avoid

cambelt kit + water pump + hydraulic tensioner around the 250 mark genuine parts

if you are mechanically minded its not to hard a job have a look at plenty of guides on you tube as there are a couplle of bits if you get wrong your in trouble!!!

it is common for it to skip a tooth so be watchful of this

only remove the pin in the new hydraulic tensioner when your 100% the timing marks are bang on the money

take your time dont rush and all shall be fine

It's for my cousin so I shall have the work done on this occasion, just in case. Thanks though I have done them before.
