i got quoted the same mate, then found another dealership doing them for £280 local, so rang the other one back and they said they'd match it, reeesult!
mine's booked in for wednesday, for a 40k service aswell, that is £199, the strange thing was the garage that wanted £280 for the belt, there 40k service was £322,so i just played them against each other and got it down as much as i could.
