Timing Belts on 14 year old car

[The Rovering Member]

That sounds right. I got some exploratory quotes from him when l bought my car. Fortunately, no need yet.

just call me 15 miles away and have done a few cam belts in my time can cut your costs down by half

Failing that, even with a trip up to see Turbo Dave in Fencehouses Tyne and Wear, the whole job would be around half what you've been quoted, and a chance to visit the Beamish open air museum

Quote for service with cam belts, also two rear tyres needed for MOT around £1200.

Car is a 2002 ZT 160+ V6 saloon, according to a site I've just checked up on the only one of this model still on the road.

Car has under 48,000 miles, bought new and so only owner.

Difficult choice when car worth £1000 or less.

What would you do? Is car likely to become a classic in a few years? Will values increase?

You need to add VAT to that but still cheaper than what have been quoted, had mine done by Gavin, even lent me a car for the weekend,
