Hello

I've spied a 31k mile 147 Colleczione 1.6 on Autotrader in the ballymena area at a dealers. Asking 3450 for it but i reckon the belt might need replacing. Has anyone any pointers on how much a job like that would cost and would a regular independent mechanic have the tools and know how?

Cheers

Jon.

Id say most mechanics should be able to manage it. Though if its a dealer selling it I would be asking them to do it to secure sale

Heres whats involved

If your mechanic doesnt have the correct tools etc there are plenty of Alfa specialists that will do the work.

Cant go wrong with Jonny Cargo just outside Lisburn
