oneleo Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I am a motorhome virgin! Recently took the plunge and bought a decent 1994 Talbot with good service history, low mileage and good bodywork My motorhome is a 1994 Talbot Express 2500 diesel Peugeot engine, and I wish to have the timing belt done current mileage is 63,000 and it appears to have had timing belt done at 23,000 in 1998 My local mechanic (based in Ayrshire) has said the only quality timing belt kit he can get costs £ 580 plus £200 labour to fit. He will not fit any cheaper version that I may source and says, it is not worth his risk Advice and comments welcome Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electric billy boy Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 to confirm the exact prices i will need the reg number but i have had a look for the avarage cost and the belt is comming in at £47.00 for a Dayco belt , reccommended would be replace the tensioner water pump and alternator belt , the most expensive one for that type of engine is £275.oo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
