   Make sure it does include the kit (kits include new tensioner and idler pulley).
   
   Cam Belt Kits are about £40-£60
   
   Cam Belts alone are about £10-£15
   
   But yeah, it will take about 3 hours so I suppose £20 / hour is an OK mate rate?

    My Cam belt kit was £42 trade (for saxo 1.1), friend of my brothers fitted it in his garage for £30.
    I asked if it may need a water pump and mechanic advised me it would be unlikely, but if it did need one he would replace that as well, turned out it didn't need one either!
