Cambelt change

[shanra]

I have ordered the Aisin kit with waterpump etc. from Rockauto with a Serpentine belt also,  £195 including everthing. I don't know if I read it on this forum but I remember a garage specialising in our V8's cambelt change but searching for hours I have come up with nothing. I think it was near the top of London (not very helpful) maybe Oxfordshire? Any recommendations would be helpful.

Hi

Could it Japex in Kings Langley?

I don't think it was but thanks for the reply.

Actually Mark rethinking this I believe you could be right. Have you used them?

A pity you don't live closer, I'd thoroughly recommend a great place in West Sussex, unless you wait for restrictions to be lifted and have a day by the sea!

I have - they are brilliant.

Thinking about getting mine done this service...

I have contacted Japex and they replied;

Thank you for your enquiry.

As a general rule we do not fit customer supplied parts.

We are unable to provide a warranty on any work carried out using customer supplied parts therefore this would put us in a position that breaches their statutory rights as a consumer.

Sorry we could not help you at this time.

Very many garages have this thought process too 

I always left ordering of parts to my indy .....  I usually paid, often directly for " big " stuff

Most garages will want to charge a not unusual 50% mark-up on cost

My man in Sussex is always happy to fit customers parts.
