I didnt misunderstand

My service man also told me the same (maybe a wee bit of wear but nothing major)...nor was my belt due according to the manual

But like i said your choice....you asked for advice...i gave it, take it or leave it

What was the make and model of your car?

just recently had the timing belt break on my 97 Voyager minivan, it just died on the wife one afternoon on her way home...even with the tow (fortunately it was close to home) I was able to get it replaced by my local mechanic (who also happens to be a classmate from high school) for about $200, so I suggest that you shop around for a better price from a reliable shop, & do it at the recommended milage...timing belts are the great mystery item, ya never know when they'll go...

Lion:

try www.cartalk.com

They have a mechanic finder at the left of the page. Type in your zip code and then look for mechanics wth favorable reviews (user-based system where you can submit ratings and comments about mechanics) who service your kind of car.

I've used this service exclusively for 3 years and have found some true gem mechanics.

Why?
 
What has fitting a new timing belt 4 a car got 2 do with anyone in here at pixie place. Surely the best place would be a repair shop etc. I would never go 2 a garage n ask 4 advice if i was feeling unwell.

Further proof that we're not your typical porn site.


We're friends that have seen each other naked.

After reading all the responses to my request, why would you make such a rude comment? When a doctor wants to operate on you, it's wise to get a second opinion or discuss the matter with one that has experienced the same issue.

Well, it is kinda funny to be discussing timing belts one minute and anal sex the next.

But like I said...since when are we typical? :D

Pixies is a porn site? :confused:

I have to agree with PF I haven't ever realy looked at Pixies as a porn site. I have always thought of it as an adult sight we do have naked pics and story about sex. But if you look at the site as a whole thats sex is only a small part of it. I've always found pixes to be a place where adults can feel free to share anything from sex pics of thenselves or stories they have writen to question about things like a timing belt.

I've always found pixes as more of a site where adults cad talk about anything more then a porn site.
