After listening to a horror story about a colleagues Alfa snapping its timing belt over the hols this has jumped right up my list of priorities! All I have is a verbal assurance that the belt was done "about 17,000 miles ago".

 

Anyone know a place that they trust round Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham that has done this sort of stuff and doesn't cost the earth?

 

Cheers

did mine me self cost £40 for belt and off road for a week:D ,

do not put it off as mine was losing every tooth,

cud be costly. :dance:

Is it possible to check the condition of the belt without taking much of the car apart?

thinking back i remember having to take radiator fan shroud off

and fan then the timing belt covers will need to come off

a simple enough job if you have the tools and time

and a garage or dry day.

if you want piece of mind get it changed anyway
