The fact you know what the cambelt is makes me think you know more about cars than most ;)
Ofcourse I do. I've had cars all my adult life. And every time I take it in they say about the belt.

I've not brought it. Still not sure if I should
sometimes low miles on old cars isn't always the best. Cars need to be driven to stop from ceasing up and battery draining making the electrics go crazy.

4gt its not really good too Small....must be m sport or luxry not Se model.
8hp gearbox its bulletproof and runs great.

2.0 - n47 problems with chain.
3.0 - n57 common falut cracks on crankshaft.
I charge for fully recon 9k with warranty for
3.0 and 6k for 2.0
Its not old good bimmer.
Diesels on evoque are same as jags ..... only main dealer and horrible prices but recon 2.0/2.2 its about 5k.

Common faluts are timing .... and injectors.

Important think is oil and time to change.
I recommended for every 6-7k miles... not 30k.
Long life oils didn't exist....
