Can forum members form a list of prices paid just for a cam belt change on a zs 180.

I have a potential buyer for the zs depending on cost of cam belt change.

The gent in question has heard close to £800-£900, where as I told him £400-£500 from one of our resident forum mg specialists is more accurate.

Could members post their locations too?

Thanks

But don't forget the garages will get the parts cheaper than you can get them for. The top two specialists on here have both quoted me £499. I can get reprofiled cams from Rsm as well as the belts for £700 so what I'm saying is that these places saying £700/£800/£900 are all over charging as it's not necessary to have to spend that much

They're 270 cams reprofiled by piper on an exchange basis

So i assume he has them ready to go when you arrive, and your old ones go back into stock to be reprofiled? or does the job take longer as they need to send off your cams and have them worked?

£700 all in does seam like a cracking deal, if i decided to get the belts done on mine i would rather pay a little more and get the cams does as well, to be honest i always thought the cams on top would take the total to around 1k.


It is all stuff to think about, as
1. My belts were due last august :D
2. I have fitted high lift cams to engines in the past so i know what to expect.

Thanks. If it doesn't sell I'll be getting them done myself anyway

Mine was £500 for the full 90k service by Lates (www.lates600.com ) a couple of years ago when I had my ZS180. It would have been £525 if I didn't have the ITG Maxogen as I wasn't charged for an air filter.

I took it to British Legends in Southend... they did a good job so my son had his belts done there also.. Be sure to get a quote from them.. dont just take my word.. http://www.britishlegends.co.uk/
