Hi,
Any views on fair price for labour (live in Middx just inside M25) to replace belt, tensioner and water pump.
Thanks

That lot's about 6 hours work - not much change out of £300 + VAT - and the parts will be another £200 on top of that.

Muuch cheaper to do it yourself. I have done several, about £18.00 for a belt and I have never had to change a tensioner and only one water pump.
