Cam belt

£320 is a good price for the job. I ended up paying quite a bit more than that!

You've definitely made the right choice. The first thing I did with mine after I bought it was to change the belts - the previous owner (who thankfully didn't own it for long) seemed to think that belts were 'fit for life'.
 
£320 definitely a good price but does that include the rollers? I would not (and have not) change the belts without the rollers as well, it is my understanding that is sometimes the rollers that due to being worn or jam that snap the belts.

 
Just booked it in for monday, its £300 for both belts and an oil change, they said they'll ring me up if they think any rollers or the water pump are worn.
So not a bad price really.
 
Don't even take the chance of not changing the tensioners & rollers - made the mistake once and will never repeat it. Unless you have the invoices, you have no idea how old, or how badly they have been tensioned in the past. Mine seemed fine, then the timing belt tensioner sheared off it's bearing at speed - 4 very bent exhaust valves and car off the raod since last Jan.
