Ok, for a start, I don't own a Vaux, but haven't got the time to find a big Peugeot site, register etc so was wondering if they knowledgable peeps on here can help. I'm also in the UAE, not the UK, so things may differ slightly out here, but here goes...
Basically I have a 206 which I put in for servicing yesterday to the official pug dealer. There are 55,000 miles on the clock, and my servicing statement states that its Model Year is 2006.
The guy has rang me back today and told me all of the repairs etc needed, it is going to be the UK equivalent of around 600 quid, 800quid including labour.
The servicing sheet states that there is 7 parts to the labour of the repairs needed:
1) Replace convertor seal, rear end seal, refill gear oil (He said something about it leaking or something on the phone earlier)
2) Replace front brake pads and brake discs
3) Replace crank pulley, drive belt tentioner and idler
4) Replace engine top mount and engine lower mount
5) Replace front LHS(?) lower arm ball joint
6) Replace front and rear wiper blades
7) Replace battery

Ok - Point number 3. When I put the car in for servicing yesterday the guy said the timing belt had been changed on its last service - is that what number 3 says needs fixing?
Also, this servicing sheet states that the car is a 2006 model - should engine mounts and such like not be covered by warranty?
Im clueless when it comes to stuff like this, but that seems f*cking expensive to me. Is there a rabbit off here?

warrenty would cover mounts and the ball joint.
Find out what they do on the service and everything else should be done on warrenty.

number 3 isnt a belt, is the pulley, tensioner and idler bearing
i would expect services to be different in the uae aswell due to the climate

The only difference that I know of is that its every 10,000km (6,200miles) as opposed to the UK which is every 10,000 miles? (I think)
If the car has been serviced by a non-peugeot garage before I bought it does that void the warranty? Maybe thats why they have put it down?
He said there had been 2 previous owners according to the computer. One was maybe a rent a car firm like Hertz or something, and the other was a guy, who I bought it off. He definetly had it done at Peugeot as it had the Servicing thing in the car from July this year.
Im just not sure if they're taking the piss or what.

1) Replace convertor seal, rear end seal, refill gear oil (seals are £10 each)
2) Replace front brake pads and brake discs (£120.00 for parts)
3) Replace crank pulley, drive belt tentioner and idler ( £110 for parts)
4) Replace engine top mount and engine lower mount ( £40 for both)
5) Replace front LHS(?) lower arm ball joint ( £20)
6) Replace front and rear wiper blades ( £20)
7) Replace battery (was it faulty when it went in? probably not)
so £320 for parts at dealer prices and that makes £480 labour. autodata allows 4.7 hours to fix the above list so that is about £ 102 an hour labour

a warmer climate only changes the due date of filter changes,
the idler/drive belt pulleys should be changed along with the belt, as an old belt shouldnt be re-tensioned so they should of been changed on the last service if the belt was,
i cant see the belt being changed in the cars 1st year though, and it still shouldnt need changed now,
dics and pads are self explanitory, if it needs them it need them, although at 1year old i suspect they dont need done yet
gear seals, they may of perished due to heat in your country but then again i'd suspect that would be nder warranty,
engine mounts i think they're having a laugh mate, the mounts wont need changed yet, and if they do they'll defo be covered by warranty, could be the same as the seals though, maybe the rubber has perished but i find i highly unlikely
lower arm ball join, at that age of the car i cant see it needing repaced, but if the heat is perishing other rubber parts then maybe this aswell??
battery and wiper blades, fair enough, battery should have a 3year guarantee and if its faulty will be covered by warranty, as for the wiper blades, they'll be wron and should be renewed 
on the whole i feel that this garage is robbing you and taking the piss, i find it very very hard to comprehend the car needing those parts when it is only 1year old,
i'd question everything and ask for proof, or remove the car from they're premises and take it elsewhere
