Title: Ed30 Cambelt
Post by: marka87uk 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:

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