Good Independent in West Midlands
Hi Guys,
Took the decision to hang on to my 05 D3 a bit longer. This means biting the bullet and getting the cambelts done. I have used one independent local to me (Wolverhampton) but wondered if anyone knew of any others in the area as it can never hurt to have more than one

Very informative and as quoted. They get my vote.

Thanks Guys. Googling has popped up Alltrack a few times.
Don't forget to consider fitting a replacement oil pump.

Mine is due in the new year.
I’ve spent hours trawling the net looking for reviews etc.
Alltrack come out on top for price vs reputation vs location for me, I’m in Warks
