Quick question
When does the cam belt need changing and how much would I expect to pay ?

Thats a good quote Dan, the parts aren't cheap, so £530 is pretty decent.

Hi

It is def 90k or 6 years.
Just spoken to someone that specialises in cam belts and it is £500 all in.
He said he doesn't usually change the water pump unless needed.
He has done about 30 in the past so has a good idea .....

£500 sounds good but I would defo change the water pump at the same time while its all bein done shouldn't cost much more to buy a new water pump .
