Cam belt change c/w water pump etc.

Hello group any advice please on where to get this job done? I live in Coventry Midlands. I am not in a position to do the work myself. Al C

My suggestion would be either Guy Salmon on the A45 if you want a main dealer to do it - they offer a fixed price for cambeltt changes, but don't include the water pump, so you would need to haggle with them on that. Alternatively, a short hop down to Wardington (Banbury) would take you via E.H. Douglas, who, in my opinion will do a better job than the main dealer.

It's your vehicle and your choice, those are a couple of options to kick the thread off with.

Given that the owner of EH Douglas owns and drives one of these himself, and the relatively small difference in price, I know who I would trust from personal experience of both.

And it ain't the Main Dealer!

Excuse me but if you don't know who to trust it's a bit pointless asking the question?

Really good one over here but bit of a trip for you ( nice scenery)

No good for you regarding location, but for price comparison, I've actually got mine booked in to Nick Kerner 4 Wheel Drive, Windsor, Berkshire, on 4th Feb. for quoted price of £641.56 inc belt, water pump, and VAT. Hope that helps.

Who’s that if you don’t mind me asking? I’m looking for a good LR shop close to mid Wales.

That seems like a much more realistic price, 6 and 700 pounds is way to steep IMHO. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Probably not much use to you but as a reference point Yeovil and Taunton LandRover do fixed price deals on servicing etc on FL2s. cambelt £395 which sounds a good price.

Try Prospect in Solihull for a quote - I've had a service done there - no problems, But it wasnt a big job either.

Get your local garage to do it £350 and avoid main dealers and so called special independents . Never have seen the point in having a mechanic who wants to charge £100 or more per hour. It’s only a car for god sake , what makes you all think it’s such a complicated machine

With the greatest of respect, any modern Land Rover is a highly complicated bit of machinery compared to "just a car".

Each to their own, naturally......
