Hi guys!
As the title suggests I'm looking to get my cam follower replaced after seeing the large thread on it. I've been trying to find a place that will do it but I've had little luck
My local dealer quoted a price of around £130 which seems a little high and I'm not keen on doing it myself as I don't have any know how in mechanical skills.
Can anyone recommend a place in the Suffolk region?
Thanks! :happy2:

Can't help you on a local supplier as i'm not local :P but that price seems high, the part is circa £30 so thats £100 to fit it, and it's an hrs labour at the most for a competent mechanic.
If I were you I would seriously consider giving it a go, i'm not mechanically minded and I did mine in under an hr following the various guides and that's on an AXX with the banjo clip that is supposed to be a bit harder.
Failing that, maybe a forum member in your area might be happy to help you do it and then you'll be comfortable doing it the next time as most people are making this a part of their standard serviceable parts now.. Save you some dollar in the long run :happy2:
