Well I just had my man fit a new timing belt. For those who do not know. I have just bought a Grand Voyager 2007 with 105000 miles on he clock. As there was no service history, I thought it better to play safe. So the guy who used to look after my cab fitted a new timing belt and water pump. Cost £500. I thought this was reasonable, having watched what he had to do to fit it. This car seems to have different underwing panels to those that I have seen on u tube. Anyway I know that I would not have been able to do it, as I don't have the locking pins for the cam etc. The belt looked in reasonable condition. My man thought it was possibly the original, but of course he could not be 100% sure. The water pump was still in good condition, but all was changed anyway. The tensioner for the belt had gone to the full limit of it's travel, so I guess the job was required soon anyway.
