ESCO225 Posted 17, April 2018 Report Share Posted 17, April 2018 Hey guys! Been looking to get back into a Meg for ages now, and I think I’ve found one that ticks almost all boxes. The car is coming up to its 40,000km service and so I’ve negotiated the sale price down a bit, however I was wondering if you guys knew an estimate of how much roughly it would cost? (Barring no unforeseen problems). The belts are to be changed at the 60k service is that correct? I also noticed the brake pads looked a bit worn and might need replacing soon. Any information regarding this costing would also be great! And regarding the actual rotors, when do they usually need to be replaced? Thanks a tonne!

slippers Posted 17, April 2018 Report Share Posted 17, April 2018 (edited) belts every 4 years or 60k. Approx $1500 inclusive of a regular service. This was quoted by an Adelaide Renault dealer. Brake pads are not expensive and you can pick them up from Brakes Direct for about ~$80 a pair. Of course you can always up-spec for more coin. If you need front and rear brake pads plus belts I would budget something in the region of $1800, plus or minus a few bucks Rotors are hard to say as it would depend on the pad and how aggressive the current owner has been and whether or not they have been machined at all. DBA 4000 series (non slotted) can be bought for $180/rotor for fronts and $120/rotor for rears. Edited 17, April 2018 by slippers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safetyman Posted 18, April 2018 Report Share Posted 18, April 2018 Belts are 4 years or 100k (not 60k) whichever comes first.60k service is a major one though with all fluids (engine oil, gearbox oil, brake fluid, coolant), air filters, pollen filter and spark plugs.

Aaron_GT220 Posted 20, April 2018 Report Share Posted 20, April 2018 Note some items are 60k, some are 4 years and some are “4 years OR 60k” or “4 years OR 100k” so depending on how the car has been used the actual requirements for the service can be a bit all over the place.The service guide has a pretty good matrix - but it can be a bit of a mental exercise tracking it in your head.
