Re: How much should i pay for a cambelt change?

Okay, so it was a heck of a lot of money, but I would rather entrust Toyota with my car for certain work rather than try and save a few quid by going to some cheap garage underneath the railway arch...

How the previous owner drove/treated the car My last tubby hardly cost me anything to run (apart from the obvious like insurance and petrol), with the...
