Hi all,
Firstly, Thanks to Cobrin for the excellent write up about timing belt replacement. Secondly, It's convinced me that it's best left to someone else ![]() Which brings up the question: What is the typical cost for this job? The MA has just gone through the 10 year mark - I think that this is a trigger, but it has only been in daily use since we bought it in October 2009 and a little over 100,000km in that time - perhaps an inspection first. So if there are members who have had this done and are willing to share cost experience I'll be grateful. I'll bet I can separate the dealer jobs from the independents if I get a few replies. Thanks in advance

Prices are rubbery.
Between $190 or so and $1200, for belt kit with water pump, parts only. Cheapest is Gates from UK, Ford AUS the the most expensive. Done by a Ford dealer is about $1500, NO WATER PUMP. What's puzzles me is the huge difference in the cost of parts. Are Ford parts in AUS really worth 10X the cost? |

I just know the timing belt I did with everything else, was dirt cheap and that's my pay back.

Cheapest I found:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GATES-KP...4383.l4275.c10 Shipping cost on many UK suppliers is a a flat $199 AUD. This one is supposedly $8.50, so I ordered that one. Another one I looked at had a sensible shipping cost based on the weight of the consignment. They weigh it and email the cost of shipping before checkout. |

I'm fixing my COX ride on mower, I expect the timing belt on Mondeo to be easier. So far I've managed to extract a sheared off bolt, found replacement belts which have self destructed and a rubber/plastic damper which completely disappeared.
I'm not sure which I enjoy riding the most, the mower or the Mondeo. |

Pretty sure its 200K km, so generally done at the 195K service to match up with the 15K service intervals.
A mate of mine who used to be a Ford mechanic said he would do it every 100K but I'm thinking of going out to 390K km for the next one (if it makes it lol)

The UK Haynes manual says 100,000 km and the NZ service book has 125,000 km!

Petrol or Diesel? I'll double check my book this afternoon but I'm sure the diesel is 200K

That's weird, I have the UK manual for the 07 - 12 and it states 62,500 miles for the diesel cambelt.

this is essentially what I used to lock the engine. I found my brand was Sealey.
no idea how much this would cost but you can find essentially the same thing on ebay https://www.endeavourtools.com.au/ET...jlr-timing-kit
