60,000mile Service for Rover 214Si (Old design)

Dec 06, 2003 1 Replies

Hi all.



I'm demonstrating my stupidity with all things cars now.



My Rover 214Si has done 64,000 miles. It needs a 60,000 mile service.



The cam (drive?) belt has been replaced by a local garage on the suggestion of a friend, and the front brakes + disks, etc have been changed in the last 4000 miles since I got the car.



How much should I look to pay (here, down south) for a 60,000 mile service which doesn't include replacing the front brakes or cam belt? I've got no idea what a good price would be. And I *need* the car doing, I've put it off for toooooo long!

belt?

Back to the local garage and ask them. The service is just an oil and all filter change plus plugs and general check and refill fluids and tyres and lights etc. This should not take more than an hour and a half of labour plus materials.

While it is there ask them to check and replace the brake fluid [about half an hour] and belts and all joints etc. They should report any faults before getting your permission to go ahead with work unless you trust them and allow them to push on if under a certain cost, say £250.

Remember that all their work will be subject to the dreaded VAT.
