Cambelt,Water Pump And Aux Belt Change,How Much???



  Clio 172 Sport
Hi to all,I'm new here!
Last night I've verbally bought an 04 172 with 89,000 miles on the clock with full dealer history from an ex girlfriend from way back and I'm supposed to be picking it up tomorrow. She's bought a brand new diesel corsa for work a few months back and the Clio's been hanging around at a family friends garage since a new MOT was put on the car.
From what she has told me the belts or at least the cam belt has never been changed so I've been looking on here and getting an idea that this isn't a cheap job and I'm starting to have second thoughts as it's not the cheap car I thought it was going to be????
Could someone tell me what exactly what needs changing at 89k (I'm guessing all thats in the title?) and a ball pack figure how much this will cost at a Renault specialist And could anyone recommend anyone in the South East Wales area I could take it to if I do decide to buy it?? Thaks in advance for your replys.

don't worry about the waterpump

cambelt and aux kit fitted is around the £450-£500 mark depending who you go to

For the price of a water pump i would, both my clios have had failed ones around the 90k mark :(

It looks as if there is no indy specialists close to me so that would mean a visit to the stealers in Cardiff which I'm not keen on. I've been looking through the how to guide on a cam and aux belt change and pretty sure I could tackle it myself but is there any set mileage that the dephaser needs to be changed??? Sorry for the questions but i'm new to Clio ownership.

Thanks Fred,I'll give them a bell and get a price. I'd rather take it to a specialist thats not that far away tbh as by the time I buy the both belt kits and the proper tools to carry out the job and the hassle it wouldn't cost a great deal more.
If I did decide to bring it up to you could I wait for it to be done or do you need the car overnight???
