This is just a game, for those that want to offer an opinion.

My T reg 1.7 Puma with 150k on the clock is having some over due TLC tommrow.

Having failed the MOT on only brake pads, (last 2 years it's needed welding.)

So whats going to be the total cost of, full service, front disks and pads, with fluid change, Cambelt with all the associated bits.

Done by a local independent.

PS the washer bottle is filled to the brim so I won't be paying for any blue water.

    is it a fluid change or an irrigation of the pistons?
    full service £95
    discs and pads another £85
    cambelt £125

    so £315
    and its not worth it:D

    Discs and pads £60 +£60 labour. Fluid change £40 Cambelt £200. Service £50 to £100. Drain and refill the washer, no charge. If you can get the lot between £400 to £500, you'll be ok. Cheaper is a bargain, but probably impossible. edit - full kit, water pump, anti freeze

    So the Cambelt was late to be delivered and they did not want to rush it, so back next week for that.

    Labour £105, parts £124 including disks & pads £43 only thing stung on is plugs at £20.
