the cam belt on my mums 55 reg focus is due in 2 months. ford have said its every 8 years or 100,000 miles.

Benfield Ford on Kirkstall Road have quoted £332 and there other branch on York Road have quoted £420. the York Road dealer gave me a breakdown, they said it would need the cam belt kit, the aux and a/c belts, a cam cover gasket, and a crank pulley bolt.

while its in bits is there anything else that could do with changing like the water pump or other pulleys?

is there any where in Leeds that you guy could recommend where i can get it done cheaper? ill be supplying the parts for the cam belt and i just want it fitting
