Title: Cambelt on 2.5 V6
Post by: mss9990 on 15 July 2013, 08:09:17
My cambelts on the 2.5 v6 are coming up to 4years, 30k miles, so will be looking to get the belt, tensioners and water pump repalced soon. Are there any members in or around the Suffolk/London/Coventry triangle that offer cambelt replacement services?

JamesV6CDX did mine and did a great job! He's based around Gloucester I think but he agreed to travel to Walsall to do mine.

And how did you come to lose your tools? Or have they been stolen?

Thank you gents for your replies. I contacted JamesV6CDX following the first lead and am visiting him on Thursday with a Conti kit.
James is now based in Beaconsfield just off the M40, not far from the M25/M40 junction. Handy for me as I happen to be visiting near heathrow later this week.

Cheers.

Will have to give him a message did he charge you extra to come to Walsall as I need my cam covers and cam belt done

Only a fraction extra to cover the diesel. I use a 50+ mpg fiesta TD for such trips so its no biggie.

Pm sent :y

I'll gladly come to spain and do it over a weekend. Subject to doing it in my time off, and obviously cheap flights (easyjet/ryanair?)

He just asked me to make a contribution for fuel (Ł30) He's also done my cam covers too.

Totally recommend him!
