Basically i just want to know on average how much would it cost to have my timing belt done at a garage?
For a 1997 Corsa B 1.2 LS 5 door

Thanks

All garages are different and cost different amounts, I'd say no more than a couple of hundred at the max. Get some quotes from garages.

as its an 8v it is pretty easy to do, it all depends how comfortable you are doing it.
If you struggle to change a wheel then I wouldn't attempt it but if you can service it yourself etc it isn't much harder.

Where I work were £80per hour +vat. I'd recommend having the water pump is done at the same time. I thing it takes abt 1.5 hrs to do the job
