Your costs Inc Labour and VAT is £843.96 so in effect you are paying £611.34 In Labour and at £50 per hour inc vat (seems to be the going rate I think for independents) Thats 12 hours work???

This is all on the basis you are not having the Cambelt changed.

he said hes having the quote 'toothed belt' changed so can only be the cambelt as the alt is usually ribbed, if 180 includes cambelt for the service it aint a bad price as long as hes changing the tensioner as well, tbh you should pay £250 for the clutch at any backstreet garage £380 seems far too much! most places charge £45 an hour unless its main dealers if i was you id look around definatly worth it just ring a couple of places up,
