Make sure they do the pulleys! Just had the parents focus engine explode! They reckon when the cambelt was done the pulleys weren;t changed / changed for cheapo russian ones. Camshafts in 4 pieces!

Ask the bottom pulley bolt to be replaced by a genuine item...
Gates ones arent great... can come undone...

yeah... £350 all in.. plus fitting a new headlight bulb and fixing the cig lighter for the sat nav

the only thing the lazy git didn't do was replace the indicator stalk as the indicators don't cancel out after going around a bend.. this means I still have to lift my fingers up after going around a corner to cancel out the indicator... you just can't get the staff these days!
