now me car has an mot- 90 quid for a new cv joint gaiter, bulb and mot. talking to a lad in work and he says changing the gaiter is a swine, so i gladly handed the cash over. thing was, wife wanted me to get my golf sorted for tomorrow (hospital appointment miles away), so i stump up the cash and get it done, then we only go and get a courtesy car! 05 plate micra- want a peice of sh*t
any way, spoke to the bloke in the garage and he said 45 quid labour plus parts. didn't seem to bad, so i booked it in (no rush now the crap micra is on the drive)
Providing you don't start the car with the belt off (which would be rather daft 
) you can just pull the old belt off and put the new one on - then you just need to get the timing checked, but unless the timing was already out it should still be fine so shouldn't cost more than a drink for the nice man with the timing gun 
how likely is the cam shaft to move as you slip the belt off? that would shag the timing wouldn't it?
tried looking in the haynes manual about it, might as of looked at a dog turd for all the sense it made to me..................................
