Anyone do a Cambelt change? Leicester

[Jim320i]

Just wondering if anyone in Leicester could do a cambelt change on a M20b20,if so, how much?


I may just be doing it myself anyway as the car is off the road and I need to learn at some point, but just wondering if anyone was capable just incase I dont get round to it.

I'm having some work done at a garage in leicester at the moment seems like a top bloke i can PM you his number if you want

Loves his E30's and wont charge the earth

[Jim320i]

Go for it mate. Where abouts is it? Like I said, I will probably do it myself, just always good to have the option of someone local.

I can do it for you and also show you how to do it at the same time so you will learn at the same time

I have a friend who has worked on them for years, but he is in huddersfield

he will do a cam and fan belt for £100 if u get the bits...

Thats not a bad idea at all.

And if I remember rightly, you love to travel?

Got about 15 things I want to be doing on her over the next few months before I get round to the cam belt change anyway so depending on how brave I am at the time, I may be contacting you.



@ paolobianchi ---

Cheers fella, but its a little too far, ideally I would need someone to travel to me to be honest so the amount it would cost to pay someone from huddersfield to come, Well, I may aswell just do it myself.

But thats for letting me know mate!

Jim,

I can't advise on someone to do it for you (other than town325) but I have just had the cambelt done on my 316i turd, and it cost me £145 with parts, to get the cambelt done along with the tensioner, two pulley's & replacement coolant. Baring in mind this was an M40 engine, so an M20 will be different, but it's a guideline to say the least.

I would say have a go at it yourself, but tbh I couldn't be bothered, so payed a mechanic who even came and collected the car, to do the job.

Town is a top man, he came and swapped my cylinder head a couple of weeks back. He could probably do a cambelt blindfold.

badassyas will take care of it! My E30 always goes to him and will continue to do so...as do my family cars. Always a professional job! Highly recommended!

Newbies? Thanks. lol

@ everyone else -

Ta for all the responses! Think I'm gonna give it a shot myself when I get round to it. Its off the road for 6 months so in no rush. I think with the haynes manual and the zone, if I get stuck, I should be ok to sort it. I might be jumping in a bit further too, thinking about rebuilding the engine and just making it spanking new...

Know nothing about it but as I say, the zone and haynes manuals will surely help me.

@ town - what price would I be looking at for you to come over to Leicester and do it, rough guess is all im after,with parts included,or I can pick them up, but would need to knwo what would be needed etc.

I would bring it over to you, but its not tax or insured now so will struggle.

Use Mark(town325i) dude, he just did mine along with other things, check his feedback for full details.

[accomplice]

don't wanna post pretty much a duplicate thread but is there anyone in london/ willing to travel that could do my cam belt? willing to pay or if you wanna good deal on some tattoos then let me know

[TouringTash]

worth swapping the waterpump whilst doing the belts on the M20 donk imo.

[TouringTash]

acc london is a big area fella, where abouts are you?

[Duke137]

Jim320i I would recommend Mark (Town325i) as well mate

[accomplice]

ah north west, should've said. harrow/wembley area

[TouringTash]

Wrong side from me to do fella, should be a reliable zoner over your side of the village or I would also recommend Mark Town325i.
