Garage to do a full timing belt change/service
Hi all,
i was wondering if you guys know any decent garages who can do a full timing belt change/service, up to 150 miles from London?
i have found this, they seem to be really good, please see link below and description taken from the listing. the only issue is that this place is approx 200 miles from me, so was hoping you guys have garages you have used or know and if you know the prices. that would be very helpful.
Our service includes:
Fuel Pump Belt & Tensioner
Camshaft Timing Belt & Tensioner
2x Camshaft Idler Pulleys
Auxiliary Drive belt

I have just had belts service on my D4, by Broadfields in Great Dunmow (near Stansted), who were well recommended. Good job and price wise, way cheaper than the dealer price.MY2012 D4 HSE Nara Bronze with some extra stuff

I use G & G Automotive in Ware to look after my Disco
They have always been very good and whilst they haven't needed to do belts etc for me all they have done has been excellent
Maybe a bit closer than 200 miles Uncle Ray's spare wheel protector

is there a way to check if the belts have been changed recently or need a change? i purchased the car at 123k and its now on 140k, there was no mention of the belts being changed in the service history but i was told that a few sheets may be missing from the service history.

ok thank you ive checked all the garages and prices and there seems to be a £300 difference in the quotes from my original 200 mile place to the rest. just waiting on some prices from the guy your using Lrstaylor and then should come to a conclusion.
