Cam Belt Change - Recommendations was created by Simon Wilson
All,
Does anyone have a recommendation for a garage to change my X1/9's cam belt?
Its a job that I'm going to try and get done early Spring.
I live in Telford, so reasonably local would be better, although I don't mind travelling to far.
Thanks in advance.

Nick did the first one on mine. As you're in Telford he's your best bet.

Give Nick a ring. He is an X1/9 specialist and fairly local to you.
Cheers

Failing that, mine always goes to Heath Road garage, Sandbach.
www.heathroadgarage.co.uk/
Bit of a drive, but they are Italian and German sports car specialists and entirely unafraid of working on something without a computer in it.
And I live in Shrewsbaaary.

Thanks for the tips everyone.
That's it then, raid the piggy bank and a Saturday morning drive in the country.
The choice is either North or South.
Regards,
Simon

to be honest, it wasn't that odious of a job, even when I nudged the aux pulley and shifted the distributor timing a tooth
