I'm in the North West and due a cambelt and service - I believe that participating VW dealers are offering fixed price cambelts for £299, or £399 with the water-pump, so that is as good a starting point as any.

I'm going to start phoning around tomos, so I'll let you know how I get on - I'm going to try the local Skoda/Seat and Audi dealers as well as the local indies. Thing is there is a VW dealer within 10mins walk of work....
