  1. What is the rough cost of a Cambelt, Aux Belt and Water Pump being fitted to an R26?

    Just so I've got a rough idea for when I'm looking at secondhand cars, just so I can factor it in
     
  2. £600 (get water pump done @ same time..)
     
  3. £550-600 yeah.
     
  4. Care to share where?

    I'm in West Essex.

    Cost are quoted as parts (Cam Belt, Aux belt, water pump, crank studs, coolant) £289+VAT (£346.80) + approx 8 hours labour @ £65 per hour = £520+VAT (£624)
    Total £970.80
     
  5. If your in Essex i'd check engine dynamics out

  6. That labour price is a joke! Specialists near me are £40+vat per hour and it's not an 8 hour job.

    The full parts kit is £240 inc vat

  7. Seems more like it. Just quoted me £583.90 including VAT all in.

  8. Highly recommend engine dynamics!

    Quick turn around and reasonable price
    They charged £420 with megsport discount for cambelt waterpump and aux belt supply and fit!

  10. Think I am going to try Engine Dynamics as £448 inc VAT seems OK, as other specialists have quoted a 8hour job and even my local garage charges £50+VAT an hour. Might even try Engine Dynamics level D service for £707 and get everything done including cambelt/WP, i.e. gearbox fluid, brake fluid, plugs etc. etc.
