Ian W Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 dude that's fine if you had brake pads fitted as well. i paid over £500 just for the fluids and belts to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Geneb Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 well they broke one breaker bar and none of there buzz guns would do it, so they put it up on the ramps put a cross bar with socket on it on the head and put the bar against chassis the turned the starter motor it took 4 attempts but it gave in the end:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 its a big bill to get at once but break it down into component parts and its probably reasonable........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Good job you don't have that Alfa then- just the belt change would have been in the high hundreds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Thats an ouch in the pocket but no so much of an ouch as having brake failure from dodgy old calipers (aristo forum dude was a nano away from that when he had his car serviced recently), timing belt snapping and buggering up your engine. Did they change your auxilliary belt as well? Something to consider on an N/A is the aux belt pulley as I have heard a few cases now of older/bigger mile N/A's have that let go and create mayhem. If they have put the genuine oils in they are not cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
