Hi all just wanted to know how much roughly a cambelt change would be. I recently bought a mx5 and it does'nt seem to have had one done , it has done 82,000 and should i get a service done at the same time or that first? I ve just had a oil &filter done today but would like it all done. A garage said they would do service &cambelt for £250 so what doyou think? thanks mandy.

Hi just had mine done today the service and cambelt was £156.40 so yes you had better shop around little gem! And he he fitted front grill and refitted the trim on back for £15 so i think that was not bad, as he has had MX5s so he knows all about them, thank god! just need the sills done next he said £50 so iam happy with that. thanks Mandy
