I use a company called Universal Tyres in Dunstable for my servicing. | |

quote: Check very carefully whether you car needs a cambelt, or if it has a timing chain. I told the dealer I had a 99 1.2 16v engine and he quoted £180 for the timing belt etc. A month later I popped in for an oil filter (cheaper than Halfords) as I do my own oil change and was told that the 1.2 has a timing chain. Great ! Now I know that i need do nothing until it rattles (around 80K miles ?). But the question is, why didn't the muppet at the dealers know this ? | |

A local garage down near me will do that for £150 and do a pukka job :) | |

The only time I would take my car to Vauxhall is if I needed something done that can ONLY be done by a main dealer. Everything else I just buy the parts myself and get my mechanic to fit! | |
