Bit of a long story - so bear with me. We agreed a price fort the belt change (over phone with their central booking type office). Bear in mind that it was also having service and MOT done today.
So, during the day, they called and said it needed xx work doing to pass MOT, should have other work done as part of service and really ought to have belt pulley/tensioners/water pump done at same time as belt.
Was then given a price - which i bellieved (this is the bit that's almost certainly my fault!!) included the std service and MOT. Seemingly it didn't.
To put some figures on it - The Cam belt price INCREASED by £300 for the pulley/tensioner and the other extra work that it needed for MOT (we're talking bulbs here!!) and some fuel treatment.
Now I'm no expert, but i think £300 for pulley/tensioner/water pump, a pair of indicator bulbs and some fuel treatment is a tad harsh.
Bearing in mind that I think when i was talking to the central booking office, it was about an extra £80 for the tensioner and pulley. They didn't think it was 100% necessary to have these done, which was why i didn't bother. Hence i'm interested in other people's experiences on this one.
I THINK I know what's happened, and let's say i have some more work to do on them!!!
