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.

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.
