    It would be cheaper to ship it there and back to MR Auto at Redcliffe.

    And at least you would have the piece of mind knowing that the job would be done properly.

    These sort of quotes are what ruins the resale value of these cars

    They won’t be. It’ll be the OP mixing up her terminology between timing belt and chain I’m presuming.

    Belts and chains were mentioned , so I assumed it may have been put to the OP by the Stealer .
    I'll also presume Gerald would be a male not that it would make a difference..................assumptions , presumptions aside , that quote is way over the top.

    Presumably the HPFP belt is included. This is nominally a body off on the 3.0L though is done body on by some i think.

    I went in for a engine timing chain change, then the long weekend restricted perform. Issue.

    To replace both rocker/intake manifold with all hoses/parts and 2 days labour is $6,230 and add $3,900 Timing chain and belts, it’s about 7% of the origin price.

    Hope this includes the newer updated coversRed triangle restricted performance.
    I’d want the flux capacitor changed for that price!
