U sure...
If the jobs so easy howcome Mr T charge 255 incl VAT...
I always thought that cambelts are a @@%"# to replace and thats why they usually are expensive...

If you look under bonnet cambelt is under black plastic cover at front of engine held in place by 3 bolts.
because engine is forward facing its easy. ( less than 1 hr.) any good independent garage would be able
to do same job as mr. t for less than half price. mines 57 & i dont think belt needs changing till 90000 miles
or 5 years

... Nice one...
I did get in touch with Kingo... our forum Parts king and asked about the cambelt and he did advise that all but the V8 are on belts.. and that there's nothing to changing them...

Anyone know the process of how to do it?
