All work is done at ford main dealer.
It's a Company vehicle, so i dont care it's not my money!
We get booked out at £900 a day so the company make enough money out of us

Our works Transit had a wet belt replaced under warranty at 70,000 miles because it was deemed deteriorated and likely to cause engine failure.
Our dry belt Kuga (PSA 2l Diesel) is 125,000 between cambelts or 10 years.
I believe the Hilux is on a chain?, will have to look into that.

Our solitary Hilux at work is what management have deemed a money pit.
I'm told in the past couple of years, it's had nearly 5 figures spent on it, and it's only done 60k.
It's cost so much, they've brought forward it's replacement by a couple of years, as the group who run it have no confidence in it, and are getting a 4wd Sprinter instead.

It's a lot of money, but over £600 of it is labour.
Not defending them, but when you've got to pay for the premises, the courtesy car, the front of shop staff, the complementary car washer, the cleaner and every other Tom, dick and Harry from the mechanics earning ability, I guess the wage bill soon adds up and you need to be charging a pretty penny.

Adblue not much of a faff. Only about 1L per 1000 miles. 10,000 miles between fill ups. I pay £0.90 per litre at the local lorry pump.

Exactly this. Its what they need to charge to keep the lights on.It's a lot of money, but over £600 of it is labour.

However if it was my own van I would of done it myself for less that £100.
