Been quoted £1,400 for the following work:

Inspection 2
- engine oil + filter
- microfilter
- air filter
- spark plugs
- valve clearances
- differential oil
- gearbox oil
- coolant flush
- subframe check

Rod bearing service
- new shells
- bolts

+ labour

Is this about right?

(Yes I know this is for an M3 and not a Z4 but so far I have found that people are quite unresponsive on the Cutters forum)
 
Nah BMS Surrey.

Car was actually booked in on Friday but had to cancel and now Kev and Lee are on holiday until August!

Out of curiosity, how much is the labour on the job? What sort of mileage do I need to be thinking about a rod bearing service?

Thanks

Not sure, the quote was all in.

General consensus is every 80,000 - 100,000 miles, but this can depend on a number of factors (ie how often the oil has been changed, what type of oil has been used, whether the car has been warmed up before using full throttle etc)
 
I paid that for inspection2 and Rod bearing shells at my Indy, sounds about right :thumbsup:
I think the rod bearing shells labour is about 500 ish with about 450ish of parts from what I can remember, CPC charge around £975 in total. Get them to check the engine mount bolts as they like to work themselves loose!
 
Do they measure the Crankshaft for ovality and wear before they renew the con-rod bearings, not forgetting does the con-rod also get measured to make sure that it is within tolerances?
