In my quest to find a good Prestigio (1.9 or a 2.4), its becoming apparent that those that have come up for sale have either no evidence of the belts being changed or those that claim it to have been done have little to support whether it was just the cambelt or the full set - cambelt / tensioner / idler / aux / tensioners / waterpump - the book has "cambelt changed" written in by a service stamp.
Unfortunately, the sellers don't seem to be prepared to flex their prices to at least make a contribution towards it being done - so budget wise my interest ends there with them.
Local FIAT dealers are quoting approx. £650 for the lot to be changed, but the chaps that look after my Coupe and 166 charge a shade under £470 incl VAT for the lot.
I plan to use them (Power Italia, Laindon) if the car I eventually purchase needs the job doing, but just wondered if the latter was a good price/going rate?
I am based in Essex, so comparable prices for this area/south east would be good to know.
Thanks in advance
Bob
