Hi guys,
I have just purchased a 2001 megane convertible with 64k on the clock and no proof that the cam belt has been replaced any time soon, if ever. I would like to get it replaced but, seems to be a bit of a mine field with different estimates and warnings of what could happen if not done correctly.
I'm looking for a reputable mechanic in the Bournemouth, Dorset area who I could trust to do it right and not cost me more than the car is worth
The best estimate I had was around 2 hours/£100 + parts, thing is I have lost a little faith in them as I had it mot'ed with them and asked whether they could quickly replace the dog-bone engine support (2 bolts/5 mins) and they said £20, I'm going to do it myself, will take me around 10-15 mins.
The first guy I spoke to said the cost of MOT would be £45, then I was told to pay £50 by a different bloke before the other guy corrected him.
So, please guys if you have some recommendations or tips that would be fantastic.
Thanks,
Dave
