   Alright guys .
   
   Just wondering where to get a decent priced timing belt kit and also whats the rough labour costs on fitting these?.
   
   Got quoted 260 all in for kit fitted with tensioners and water pump? That a good or bad price?

   I got mine done yesterday for £229, so your looking between £200-£300 wherever you get it done

   got it done twice before for £120. The belt itself cost peanuts, it's more about the labour.

   I just payed £35 for the tensioners and had the belt off a mate, but they're around £30 at the factors. If I was quoted over £200 I'd change the engine.
   Edit: didn't realise you were talking about labour..

   Had my 16v done yesterday:
   
   Cambelt, water pump, tensioner, coolant and auxiliary drive belt for 278 quid. Not bad.
