My 318 needs to have some extensive repairs so before ringing around I thought i'd ask some people in the know.

I need:
Cam belt change
Fixed leaky rear diff
New exhaust gasket

What would you expect to pay for each/all?

Also have a frightening fuel leak. Assuming the worse case scenario, and I need a new fuel tank, what might you expect for a fitted replacement?

Cheers

Couple of questions then. Where abouts in the world are you?
How mechanically competent are you? Nothing on the list is "easy" but helpfully nothing is stupidly difficult if you have any ability. :)

Tackle it yourself pal... Or ask someone local to you that uses the zone to help you out and pay them some cash... Where are you? winkeye

I'm in south Manchester. Any offers would be greatly appreciated! I'm not that mechanically minded, but not a dunce either. That said, I'd much prefer someone who knows what they're doing rather than fouling up my own car.
