I thought the timing belt wasnt due until 100,000kms or 60,000 miles. If you only have 49,000 miles theres no need.

[DJ Wozza]

There is a need if the car is 6 years old or older

Nice one Wozza, I called the guy at ABM yesterday.

He qouted me £361 for the waterpump & said to pop in there on a sat morning and he'd have a look at the engine to before he booked the car in. Couldn't of been more helpful.

Did that include the water pump ? If so then yeah not too bad

I was lucky as I was having a waterpump replaced under warranty, so the timing belt is virtually

a doddle to get too with all the other stuff stripped off, so cost only half an hours labour plus parts.

I would always suggest getting the timing belt done if it is anywhere near due when the Water Pump

gets replaced, and vise-versa to save on the labour costs.
