where to get the belts changed in scotland

hi

i'm about to buy a 2001 S2 which although it's got a full service history doesnot have the belts changed.

any idea of somewhere in scotland that will fit the belts for a reasonable price?

murry lotus are circa £5-600. which seems a bit steep

We're not in Scotland (Newcastle upon Tyne actually) but we get a lot of customers from Scotland.

Prices for just the belts changed (cambelt and alternator belt) are as follows:

Standard 111 - £170
VVC 111S - £200

These prices include parts, labour and VAT.

p.s. Have you got rid of the FTO then? I used to have one too.

Please see attached, which I posted a few weeks ago. I can't recommend Dan highly enough...

I live in Edinburgh and have just had an A service & cambelt change carried out by Dan Jude in Newcastle. Drove down the Coldstream Road on the Sunday evening - weather was fantastic, managed to slow down at all the "right" bits ! Spent the night with a mate of mine in Newcastle, had a few beers. Took the car over to Dan on the Monday morning , wandered around Newcastle (very pleasant on a sunny Monday !) and picked the car up at 3.30pm. Drove back up the same road, car felt fantastic (just had new tyres fitted, again from a local specialist). Perfect couple of days.

Conclusion - no need to go to main dealer, specialists such as Dan much more knowledable, friendly & enthusiastic, as well as significantly cheaper.

Don't not buy an Elise because of concerns over servicing !! You'll regret it !!
