£1000 for head re-ferb???
Please could anyone help me with this problem? I have been quoted £1032 for a head re-ferb on my wife's Fiesta 1.4 16v zetec, due to a collapsed timing belt tensioner, the garage (in aberdare area) will strip off the head , send it for re-ferb, and then re-fit, It sounds very exspensive to me, was expecting around the £500 mark. does anyone know of anywhere that could do this sort of work, cheaper, was thinking of trying to souce a second hand head from a breakers and getting the garage to fit it for me. any advise would be appreciated.
P.S I only bought it for her 2 weeks ago cos she kept kerbing my 18's

Sounds expensive to me, I'd shop around a bit first if i was you.
Didn't the car come with a warranty? it should have or did you buy it private?
The only thing else i can suggest is to take out a warranty with someone like
warranties on line, then put a claim in later on! not exactly pc but worth a try.

this is quiet a labour intensive job
but i would of expected it to of been around 700tops
also depends on what parts they are using ford parts are more expensive than noddy parts ask for a break down of costs
would of thought it would be about 6-7hours labour plus parts plus vat
hope this helps.....
