Crank oil seal
#1
Just had our 97 Sport serviced and been told the crank oil seal is leaking. My wife said she was told the part is cheap but it's around 4 hours labour.
Waiting for a call from the dealer in Sheffield to give me a price.
I guess this has been asked before but I can't search for some reason. Is there anywhere that could do a cheaper/better job than a dealer? We're in South Yorkshire
Cheers

The cost is in taking the pulleys, Timing belt cover, timing belt Etc. There is also a possibility that oil may have contaminated the timing belt & that may need replacing also ! If the timing belt is getting due I would change it at the same time as the seal to cut down on labour costs later on. Most reputable garages will be upto the job, Just shop around for a labour rate.

I had my one replaced by a mate who is a mechanic with Aird motors (local Sub dealer),it took him 2 hours and that was replacing the timing belt at the same time. Cost me £90 for the belt, you can get a cheaper one but it's really false economy, and it would prey on your mind forever.

Oh bloody hell, don't tell me that
I think it is the front one. I rang the dealer and he mentioned pulleys and timing belts. Still waiting for a price though.
He mentioned it was quite a bad leak and wondered why it hadn't been noticed before. It's the first time we've had the car serviced at Sheffield, usually we go to York.

£11.25 for the seal, £220 for labour, plus VAT gives me £271.72
If I need a new timing belt that will cost another £98 + VAT

Just paid for a service as well. Shame I didn't know about this before, maybe could've saved myself some money getting it all done in one go.
I wonder if it would pass as an Xmas present for the Missus...
