Cam belt change
#1
Right I'm thinking about getting the cambelt done on the NAD how much is reasonable to pay to have this done and what parts should be checked or fitted whilst its being done

Thanks

Well worth looking at the vid, get a manual and doing it yourself....with the timing pins you can't do much wrong

It's not as hard as it looks things you need to get for the job are

Timing belt kit (should include tensioner and idler)
Water pump
Hydromar
Loctite thread lock (if your paranoid like me)
Only hard bit is literally getting the timing belt covers off

It's an easy enough Job to do Aslong as you lock everything off properly, but if your really not keen on doing it yourself expect to pay anything from 100-200 quid at a garage

I got quoted £300 for my timing belt due to it being a 'pain in the arse' so decided to do it myself Smile

Where you located will be around 2-3 months before getting it done

Hydromar is something I used on the water pump its a sealant just gives a better seal you don't really need any special tools need

Sockets
Jack
Spanners
Pretty much it

O and beer is a must Wink
