Clio Mk 3 cambelt quote from Renault

[Stockade]

My first post; I recently brought a 08 Mk3 1.5 DCI privately. It's one owner from new and has 65,000 miles.
I have contacted Renault Worcester for a cambelt change and they recommend the water pump and aux belt. Total cost £871?!
They are saying this is 6.5 hours job and charging £89 ex VAT per hour.
Is this reasonable? I would have thought they do this work pretty regularly.
Any recommended garages local to Worcester or Cheltenham?
Thanks all

No chance.

My English geography is shocking but see how close Diamond motors (@MicKPM) and birchdown are from you

Or two hours each way to Rentech in Portsmouth would still probably work out a fair bit cheaper than that quote!

I would take it to any, well respected, local garage, its nothing out of the ordinary like the setup on the 172-200

What Martin said. It's not a complicated job.
I can't remember how much I paid but it certainly wasn't anywhere near the price Renault quoted you.

He looked after my old RS200 when I sold it to my son.
