   Just had a quote for £140 labour for cambelt change is the a good price or can anybody recommend a garage in or around the birmingham area thanks in advance.
   Was considering doing it myself but havn't got a tensioning tool so probably leave to pros.

   bloody good price if it includes tensioner and idler as well as the belt, best to get water pump done at the same time
