Hello again chaps
I have spoken to some very nice and competent sounding chaps at 'Gas and Go' in Swindon, who seem to know and rate LS400s. They have quoted me £240 for the cam belt job + £128 for the water pump as well if I want it (though they don't seem to think it is necessary, nor do they think the pulleys will need doing @ 130,000 miles) and £120 for a service. They also fit LPG systems so may service that also if needed.
I'm going to go with them and will keep you all updated about how it turns out, so anyone in spitting distance of Swindon watch this space!
Another question though - does anyone know if a towbar from a Mk4 1997 (apparantly offical lex towbar costing £800 new!) would fit my 1996 Mk3?
If not does anyone out there want to sell one that would fit?
Cheers
Jonathan
