just been looking at importing and getting the essentials done when it arrives (or am I getting done??)
cambelt and tensioner =£210+vat
coolant flush=£50+vat
underseal and cavity wax=£350+vat or £150 for just underseal
service (fulids and filters) and road test etc =£185+vat
pretty much a grand all in, but its all done and it should keep the rust at bay
what do you bongoers think?
I'd do the service myself but I'll have a 500mile journey from picking it up

sounds very expensive to me, waxoyl in lancashire around £50-£100,timing belt £50+ parts,around £120 in total,vat included,would shop around before forking out so much.

Seems a hell of a lot of lolly to me, neepboy. Join a rescue organisation to make sure you get home then take your time to shop around. Lifesure charge £65 for the full package or £85 if the vehicle is over 10 years old.
