Annoyingly up north Scoobyworld say on their site they charge £200 supplied and fitted.
Bloody london prices

Hi mate, the place your buying your cambelt kit from is called Import car parts, if you go on there website you will find the same kit cheaper on there. £130 labour is a good price.

the "uprated" bearing, like the water pump upgrade is simply good marketing and not actually any improvment in general terms as they dont fail

our kits contain factory components and a water pump can easily be added if required
