Right just got a quote of my local Fiat dealer (Who to be fair are pretty decent compared to the last Fiat stealers i used to deal with)

Asked for a quote on a Cam Kit change (Belt, Tensioners etcetc) - £250

And for changing the dreaded Rear bushes (With me supplying the bushes)

They said between £180+Vat and £240+Vat for the bushes, depending on how hard it is to take the old ones out.

So i asked on a price match on teh Cam kit (Used teh price list from Motor-Mech ((Which is 100miles away from me!!) which is £180.
So they quoted me £180 for the Cam belt etc saying they would happily price match it.

HOWEVER, now they were certain the Reabr bushes would cost the max quoted price of £240+ VAT = £276 in all.

I want you opinions guys, i'm happy with £180 for the cam kit and change, but is £276 reasonable for what is an "arse" of a job to do for the bushes.

Poll at the top. Remember if you think its not cause you know somewhere who does it, ' Just as good, but even cheaper please reply with the full details. I am willing to travel to get it done, but not too far, else it isn;t worth it.

Cheers

Good price I think when we know its an arse of a job to do..if they want to know how to get the old ones out tell them to log in here..

Cam belt change also a good price I payed 180 + vat and supplied the parts..

You sorted out that "clunking" noise yet from when Mickey did yours?

lmao, i think it's my exhaust, it hasnt got any worse so i'll leave it and see. lmao. if i gets any worse i'll investigate futhur

Local Fiat/Alfa place did my cambelt/waterpump for £200, dealership wanted over £350 just for the cambelt...never using that dealership again.

So, the price for the cambelt as you say is pretty reasonable, but not sure about the rear bushes as not had them done on mine. Yet.

Did the rearbushingsjob ourselves a few weeks back.
Getting the old ones out is a RPITA, so the quoted price seems really fair to me.
And believe me. You'll notice the difference afterwards!
