Thats a very good price for the Kv6 belts, Is that without parts??
He does get his knockers, some say it's impossible to it in an hour, bullshit I say! I watched him do it! He made it look easy!

KV6 includes the belts, his says no need to change the water pump unless it has gone or if you wanted to change it, they rarely fail.

Best check first as the cost is dependant upon your post code, so expect an increase to cover fuel expenses so far north. As I said previously he does try to group a few together and spreads the work over say three days away from home on the road for such trips.

There are a few of us up this neck of woods needing belts done round about the same time, wonder how many we could get together to make it as cost effective as possible

I have not used him, but he also gets a good recommendation from the people he has travelled to to change the belts.
Yeah, I know... Was quoted £185 to change them, but don't fancy the 9 hour round trip to get it done

my belts ain't due till late in the year but at that price it would be worthwhile them being done early alongside Gary and Kev.
