Timing Belt Advice

[Scottyboi]

They knock you down when you get there ?

Big time no matter what grade or how perfect your car is. Use Motorway instead, I love that era Range Rover Sport but I need 6 seats or more these days so no good for me.

It's nice that, if you've already put loads into it and know it only needs the chain doing I would keep it personally.

Is it a belt or a chain ??

Find out. Timing belts on a run of the mill car need changing 50 - 70 k, a chain could technically go on for a hell of a lot longer...a lot of older Mercs had twin timing chains and as the Nigerian taxi drivers knew, they had intergalactic mileage on them.

175k on my 2.2 litre Vito and that's nothing compared to some, rust will kill my van before anything else.

We buy any car has offered a decent price for it, if i knew the timing belt wasn't to go in the next 12/18 months i would keep it, the wife only does around 2/3 thousand miles per year in it.

Someone on here the other day said Motorway are a lot better to deal with than we buy any car

I've got 154k on my Primastar and likewise, rust will kill it eventually. Giving it a full exterior valet to put a smile on the paintwork soon....she deserves it.

Nothing has gone wrong yet but the garage has recommended new timing belt.

Might as well do the water pump while they're in there. I'm surprised they haven'y suggested it as it will cost you a lot more to do it later.

Sell it on. I never buy a car with a timing belt, it's an unnecessary expense in owning a car having to have it changed.

As somebody else has said…. A big national dealership, trade in!
