[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 878911, member: 323322"] Anyway, back to Fiat Springs .................. Half-hour job. A ton the lot, inc. Coil, Drop Link, Labour and VAT. Overall maintenance costs (inc. Servicing) have been under £100 per year on both our Punti. They're now worth very little so I think we will run one of them until it can go no further and probably replace the other next year. I've decided against precautionary Cam Belt changes as I've heard too many stories of poor quality replacement including being a notch or two out on timing, failing to replace tensioner etc. And when all is said and done, the Fiat 1.2 8v Petrol Engine is a non-interference design, so a snapped belt is an inconvenience, not a disaster.
