Would better quality parts help? i got wacked with a £750 bill in Jan 17 for Cambelt,Water pump,Cam belt tensioner and Full service, this is on top of £150 for MOT + Coil pack replacement in Dec 16, I have a suspicion that "basic" parts have been put in..... or maybe im being paranoid, Ive seen on other threads that some people have put NGK Iridium Spark Plugs and conical air filters on which has improved MPG/Smoothness, Its a family car thats used for commuting so im not bothered about faster acceleration etc just about keeping it reliable as im the only driver in our family.

Thanks for your help so far
