I need to get a cam belt change as I have no history with my car. What else should I get them to do at the same time.
Many thanks
Cam belt change but what else.... water pump, tensioners....

Just had mine done as I was unsure if it had been done at the recommended 100,000 mile service.
I had the belt, tensioner and water pump renewed. The mechanic said the belt had been replaced but was running out as the tensioner was cracking up and the belt was rubbing against the cover.
Also had the auxiliary belt and tensioner changed too.
It makes it a fairly expensive job at the time but a cheap one compared to what can happen if you skimp on it.
