   my reply will be more relevent you should be looking at about £200 with all the parts and labour included.

   Post a thread in your regional section. Somebody may be able to do it much cheaper.

   shop around mate, get the yellow pages out and ring around for a hour, never take the 1st quote as golden. garages are willing to deviate slightly on prices if they havnt got a lot of work on.

   theres a big price difference between a self-tensioning timing belt kit, and just the timing belt. I think the kit is for home mechanics who dont know how to get the tension right, and just the belt is for experts correct me if im wrong.
   
   If you want somebody else to do it why not try a mobile mechanic?
