Waylaid an RAC man in a carpark, showed my membership card and asked him who he would recommend for this job on this engine. He gave me the card of the garage in Reading Berks that do all their diesel fleet work (I assume theirs are all modern common rail engines). I had a result, they know these engines. I am fitted in with them for cam belt change on the 16th, cost
£145.50 plus vat.
Delighted. By the 16th she'll have had oil, flush, filter change, back axle and gearbox levels checked, propshaft joints checked, plus most importantly a cd player fitted next Tuesday lol, plus I have done all the minor stuff I can do myself, wiper blades, air filter, pedal rubbers, roof rack, etc.. getting somewhere with this car now. I may ask them if they can time my pump up and fit new fuel filter, was going to give that to the diesel specialists but they thrashed my car after I asked them not to and then argued with me that the D24TIC doesnt have oil flow/pressure probs........
