Just been quoted £750 for cambelt and water pump etc by M J Fews at Charfield. They used to be a LR dealership but still do LR service work.

Wow. That's twice the price it should cost.  Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.
2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone.
2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone.
Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver.
1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project.

Thanks again, it's in on Wednesday for a health check. It's won't tell everything but Im hoping I will at least know what my priorities should be.

No more follow ups?
Hopefully all turned out OK

Just for the record here in case anyone else searches this. I bought a 2012 with 93k miles on the clock and couldn't find any record of a cambelt change. It had a good history (main dealer) so I rang them and they gave me the details of the services including that the aux belt had been changed in 2019.

For peace of mind I got my local to do a cambelt change (just under £400) expecting as a number of posts here have said that the belt would look like new. It didn't. Tiny cracks across the belt and showing signs of wear.

Just goes to show you.

£400 is ok, as long as it includes an OE water pump, and belt kit. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.
2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone.
2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone.
Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver.

Yup , the lot. Gates kit.

Main dealer quoted £750.
