Timing belt cost

Recommended Posts

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

Well the labour charge isn't bad and I can't see what risk he'd be taking fitting parts supplied by a customer because he couldn't be expected to give any guarantee on customer supplied parts
