I didnt fully trust myself to do the cambelt and forked out just under £140 for the cambelt and tensioner to be changed (including parts obviously) on my valver.

you can get parts online from
http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/Car-Parts (http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/Car-Parts)      or     http://www.gsfcarparts.com/ (http://www.gsfcarparts.com/)

why not get yourself a haynes manual and do the service yourself?
