I just paid 350 for the timing belt, during which they found the auxillary belt tensioner was splitting so they had to replace that. Glad to say the tensioner was covered by a warrantee, otherwise it would have cost 130, because its a renault part that comes as part of a kit

Got my figures wrong, checked my quote and it was approx 265 for belt and another 80 on top if I wanted the full cam kit (which I did).

That was from ClarkieV6 and his garage in Exmouth.

I also got my aux belt tensioner done last month, didn't have to buy a kit tho iirc, the part was just about 50 quid
