just found a garage advert on ebay that will change timing,pump and alternator belts including pulleys and tensioner for £329 + vat. its green oval garage ltd in leeds 0113 2720866. they also service landrovers using landrover spec oil ect. hope its not too good to be true as my belts need changing in a few thousand miles.

Absolute bargain if true.
Double check, then triple check it, then check again, then get in writing that its all the belts plus parts plus labour etc.

I'll add vat to your figure for consistency but your £394.80 quote seems ok to me.
My local dealer charges £624 for the big 6yr/105k service, so with a regular service coming in at £270 I guess the belt changes attract a £354 premium.

They quote £329.00 plus VAT on their own website as well, so it must be true. I note the wording is "from £329 plus VAT" though.

Just had a few bits done by them and can very much recommend them! Gave the car a good look over and found some bits that others didn´t find!
Good set of lads who have worked for LR dealership before. Give them a ring and have a chat with Brian.
They are not that active on the forum due to concentrating their time on the cars

Yep £329 + VAT. Rang this morning. Going to get it booked in as just gone past 105,000.
Just as a matter of interest. Has anyone taken theirs beyond the 105,000? If so how far? And did it result in anything nasty.
Still going to get it done. Prefer the sound of £328 to several thousand.

Yeah! Take it to Kwik Fit and they will find "some bits that others didnt find" 
Will give them strict instructions not to look for anything.

Funny!
What I was meaning was it had just had an MOT and failed on offside track rod end. The guys who did the test didn´t notice the other side was just as bad.
If you take your Disco to Kwik Fit you´re asking for trouble! About time you sold and bought a Fiesta.....  Faultmate MSV2 MultiVehicle
