Taken from www.gsfcarparts.com

N13109 TIMING BELT SAXO 1.6 8v 8.75

so thats £8.75+VAT for the belt. Thats £10.28 inc vat excluding delivery for the belt. you happy paying £160 labout? thats over 5hrs to change something that should take no more than 2hrs.

Shop around if they want silly money.

GSF parts are identical to OE quality if you call them and ask you can even specify the same make that citroen use.

i checked out a price at a local garage that i did work experience back in year 11.. and they only wanted £85 for a cambelt change supplied and fitted.. and they have a good rep to

shop around mate

or see if any of your mates can do it
