Hi,

I've just bought a 320 which needs a new belt quickly, and a few other bits and bobs.

Could anyone recommend a good independent around the Cambridge / Ely / Newmarket type area?

Thanks in advance...

Wallis and Sons are good!

Thanks Andrew.

They're quoting £275 all-in for a belt change. Sounds a bit much to me..?
Anyone know the going rate for these nowadays?

Cheers,
Alex

For info:

Bensen in St Ives ( http://www.benstenmotorsbmw.co.uk/ ) ..quoted me £142.33 for the belt change. They have good feedback on the Unix Nerd's review ( http://www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk/garages_seng.html ) so I think I'll give them a try.

Cheers,
Alex
