When you pay membership you can see the traders section. Price lists are all in there. Depends where in the country you are is best to recommend. I'm £450 all in for both full belt kits

Surely if the garage f***s it up it's their problem to see the bill and car is paid to get fixed?

the RS's are very sensitive to timing, so anyone can fit a belt but if they don't use the right tools and know what they are doing, then the timing will be out - the car will still run but will end up being about 25bhp down - so proving to them and getting them to pay up would be a right pain in the ass.
