mate of mine doing it for mates rates but he said nomally £150 to fit belt £80 to me, £120 to supply & fit brakes & discs then its oil, filters etc but one tip i had with transit connect is to change pollen filter regular as it can block something up on the engine, sorry cant be more help but shop around for your parts cheers:idea:

 

[Ryan]

na i thought it be around £600-700 for the full works so add that onto what van i get lol

 

[Belfastcleaning]

Why not just buy a van that needs nothing?

 

[Ryan]

ya thats the plan but 90% of the ones iv seen aint had all that done at the cambelt change time

 

[Belfastcleaning]

I would love a brand new van

 

[Posh]

96 Astra 55 mpg. Wanna change but won't. Every year sails through mot and just keeps going. Prob won't start now in morning. Mind you it's hammering down ere at mo.

 

[Paul]

Had a 96 astra myself had the iveco engine in went forever couldn't get over 70 mph but would run on fresh air, the only prob was I couldn't open the back door with ladders on The roof or I would still have it

 

[Posh]

Push ladders right up so only 1 rung is over back and it opens. My prob is keep banging my head as not very high. Know what yer mean about 70mph lol but she's great

 

[Paul]

I don't mind the one I have now only does 70ish mph she's a old girl but it does for me and looks clean enougth it's a 98/99 berlingo and paid £400 so can't really moan about it
