Get your wallet out.

 

 

It depends on whether you trust the person that's gonna do it over there really, 150 Euros sounds ok if you're gonna get your car back in one piece. Who is it thats gonna do it?..the German fella?

:lol:

 

Get him to do the cam belt, but don't pay in kind if he's not a looker :wink:

 

Why do you need to do the gear and brake fluid?...

[chaz g60 0]

well the gear oil probally needs topping up

he reckons should be changed on 120.000 kms

and the brake fluid was his suggestion for squeeky brakes !!!???

i put the new disks and pads off the old g60 on and there squeeking bad , i just asked him to check em .

Took me about 3 hours (divided over several days) changing all 3 belts (cam, drive and polyribbed) and the cambelt tensioner on my G60 at a very very casual pace :lol: So, someone who does this for a living should be able to do that in less than 2 hours, I reckon.

changing the brake fluid will not stop brake squeel. anti squeel shims, or a dab of high melting point grease on the back of the pad.
