i've checked their website and it's right!!!!

                                                 Price Discount Web Price
 
   
    Replace Cambelt And Tensioner £164.26  £67.85  £96.41 


that is amazingly cheap and worthwhile travelling at that price.

VW Northampton have quoted me £322!!!!!!!!! :shocked: :laugh:
