Hello.

I need some help in finding a good independent ford garage in London (I live in hackney) do some work on my 06 focus please.

Its a 1.6 ti vct engine and I needed to get the following done:

-timing belt, tensioner and water pump replacement (is now on 66000 miles)

-replace the thermostat as the coolant and engine temp goes down when I drive. ( I understand these are different in ti vct engines)

-auxiliary belts for alternator and ac (need help to find these online also)

 

Looking at my Haynes manual I have seen these online which seem to be what I need

 but wanted to know if a garage would have the needed timing and vct tools or should I buy them? Also as this is a complex job do you have any recommendations for ford garages  in east london and how much it this all likely to cost please.

 

Thanks Sean
