I know of 2 indy's up your way, neither of which do D3/RRS timing belts.

And the main dealer wants over £2,000 to do a set of belts Rolling with laughter My D3 Build Thread

It's Aberdeen. Everyone works offshore and is loaded Thumbs Up

In all honesty, they are lifting the body, hence the huge amount. Because the 2 local Indy's don't do belts, people think they have no alternative.

Should really spend more time in Aberdeen... Whistle My D3 Build Thread

One of them, I know have had 2 belt failures after being replaced, and we're taken to court, and forced to pay for both replacements.

What the cause of failure was, I don't know. May have been oil pump issues, may have been something else. But it was an expensive exercise for them, and they no longer do them.

The other place doesn't do them, as "there are issues with the tensioner bolt"


The money offshore is just obscene. What 18 year old just out of.school would turn down £3k a month as a starting wage Shocked My D3 Build Thread

The offshore gravy train will grind to a halt soon, falling oil prices and lack of investment. Woodgroup shore based contractors have just taken a 10% cut. Still keeps them in audio rs4's though 3 Flash Indicators
