Garage time for the job is 4 hours but they're likely to have all the tools. Chrysler price about £750, non franchised £500, kit £220.

I'd like to see them do it in 4hrs... :)

I have all the tools including the timing pins that I made myself (worked perfectly) and I wasn't hanging around, I knew exactly what to remove and in what sequence...

The first time I fitted new pulleys even tho the originals were fine.. this time I didn't change the pulleys, but did fit a new tensioner for the timing belt.

I think the belt (Conti-tech) was around £40, tensioner £35 and water pump was £42.... so not too bad

All's well that ends well...
 

Well after all that helpful advice, none of it was necessary.....

I had pro actively bo8ght a full timing belt kit including water pump for £250 to give to the dealer to fit for me, only to find when I got there that they had got all of the documented service history together and discovered an invoice for a new cam belt and alternator belt installation in June 2013....:D Only 4K miles ago..

Result ;)

Luckily the Ebay store that sold me the kit and water pump had no problem in accepting returns.

The dealer even had a brand new drop down DVD player installed as the original one was not working :eek:

The car is driving like a dream and I have one very happy family :D

That sounds like you got a great deal Merle, have lots of family fun in your new vehicle.
