   Just need second opinion.
   
   How much for Cam Seals and fitted, and should i get standard one's or are there any better ones available? (Also the complicity to fit out of 10)
   
   Also, How much for a Transmission Temperature Sensor and where from? (Same again for fitting out of 10)

   Camshaft seals aren't too hard to fit (maybe a 5-6/10 in the grand scheme of things)
   
   You'd basically need a new cambelt fitting etc. when fitting them, so will be the cost of a cambelt change plus then the time to whip the camshaft pulleys off, then swap the oil seals over.
   
   Transmission temperature sensor doesn't exist on a Saxo

   Well it doesn't exist? You have got a reverse switch and speed sensor on the box
   £50 for seal fitting is about right, if that includes the seals then bargain
   
   Would be worth getting a cambelt kit and having that done at the same time

   But you need to remove the cambelt to do the cam seals?
   
   £50 to change them?! That's a bargain if you can get it done for that

   Been offered £142 for Seals and Cambelt kit, fitted. That seems more than decent with me as it comes with warranty, think i should go for that lads?
