Hi,
Am new to this board. Have just taken the plunge and bought a 99V Marea with 68 on the clock, as a second car for my partner. I think the Marea is a stunning car considering their cost, and cannot understand why they go for peanuts.
I know all of the issues around changing the cambelt and so am keen to get this done asap. Fortunately I only have the 1.6 engine and so do not believe will have the same issues as the 20v owners.
Have contacted my local Fiat dealer who are quoting £308 all in for just the belt change, or £530 all in for the full 72k service. Does anyone have any comments on these figures, or alternative suggestions re garages (I am in Essex but prepared to travel)?
Thanks in advance,
D.
