    Default 3.2 cambelt change

    Having had a quote of over £400 from VX stealer (exc water pump and auxillary belt), I thought I'd try a few independent garages that came recommended to me.

    Out of the eight that I tried, everyone of them winced at the thought of doing a 3.2 V6 and not one was interested. Even found a local garage who does nothing but cambelts but that was two weeks ago and he hasn't come back with a price. He also said he'd never done one of these "new" engines before (god help me).

    So tomorrow looks like I'll be making a call to a few more localish VX stealers just to compare costs.

    Thanks Mark - I'll try to keep the revs down (and mileage) for a while and promise not to make those phone calls to those very nice VX stealers.
