Ed30 Cambelt
« on: March 17, 2011, 06:18:10 pm »
Hi,

My Ed30 is a 57 plate and has done 60k... I know the book says the cambelt should be changed at 100k but do you recommend it should be done soon? :smiley:

Mine was done at 63k and the belt looked new still  :confused: ie no marks or any signs of wear

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

By the way, is around £300 the going rate for having the cambelt and water pump changed?
