I have a ford ranger and I need to get the timing belt changed. does anyone have an idea how much it costs to get one changed. I live in the uk but the cost for anywhere is better than nothing
Thanks

All of the belt driven accessories at the front of the engine and the timing chain cover will have to be removed. Depending on the mechanic, since this is very labour intensive, this could be several hundered dollars. Expect to pay around five hundred for parts and labour, at minimum.
If you want to save money, you could do this yourself for only the cost of the timing chain. Get a manual such as Haynes for your model and year vehicle. It's just a lot to remove.
My currency estimates are in US dollars.

That will depend on the car. In the UK, I would just guess at least 150 pounds. If it has a dual over-head cam, then it would be more. Depending on the car, it can be a very taxing job. Good luck.

Not necessarily. The prices we give you here are meaningless to you since they have no relation to how much someone will charge you when they actually do it.

why do you ask this question here?
pick up the phone and ring an Auto garage for a fixed price quote,
This forum will get you quotes from all over the world, totally irrelevant to where you are.
