Just had a quote 2 mins ago from my local "cheapie garage" £240 for a timing belt kit, and a full service - guess thats not too bad.

Any more opinions for garage price on x16xe?
I aint mechanically minded enough to do it myself  And would like the peace of mind of a receipt incase it goes pop lol.

at least a few redys be looking at a reasonable garage chasing £300 maybe more, seeming as it is a wanker to get them belts back on, and the crank bolt can be a git to get off.
