Northampton is served by three junctions of the M1 motorway, connecting the town with
Leeds at its most northern point and
London at its most southern. You can easily get around by bus (most are run by Stagecoach Midlands), and Northampton train station is on a loop of the West Coast Main Line. The Silverstone circuit track, home of the British Grand Prix, is a few miles south of the town, and many Formula One cars are built in Northamptonshire.
The cambelt is responsible for synchronising the rotation of the camshaft and crankshaft. Hence, it is also called the timing belt. Often, drivers book a cambelt and water pump change together to save time and money.
FixMyCar has an excellent network of cambelt specialists who will advise you on the best course of action.
Three common signs your cambelt needs replacing are a squealing noise when you start the engine, problems getting your car to start, and a glazed or glossy look to the belt. Although a snapped cambelt is uncommon, tension issues are not. A loose cambelt will whip around the engine, causing knock-on effects, while a tight belt usually causes a whining sound and puts pressure on the bearings of the cogs it is fitted to.
Whether you went to book a regular timing belt replacement or a mobile timing belt replacement, you're in the right place.
