04 Xzara Picasso 2.0 HDi - Timing Belt Change - Big Clive

I propose to have the timing belt changed on my 04 Xzara Picasso 2.0 HDi at 75,000 miles. Should I have the running pulleys and the water pump changed at the same time and should I use a main agent (for protection against subsequent failure) or an independant (for economy)?

Have the whole kit fitted, you'll kick yourself round the park if the water pump fails virtually wrecking the engine.

Have you phoned around the (family preferably) dealers within say 50 miles for a quote, that's what i shall do with our Citroen.

Then once you have the ball park figure, get a price from an indy that you trust to stand by his work, preferably someone highly regarded, then it's decision time.

Unless a huge difference i'll be using a main dealer....now which one.
