Well i paid under £100 to get my exhaust backbox fitted and for a cam belt change (which included the cost of the cam belt kit, I supplied the backbox myself). So probably around £100-£150 for those three jobs would seem pretty fair as you already have the parts. The rocker cover is a pretty simple job you could probably do yourself if you have a spare hour one weekend.

well to fit all this takes less than an hour so it all depends on the hourly rate of the garage you entrust to take on the arduous job

Rocker cover and water pump should really be done by yourself if possible, peace of cake really.

Cam belt should be around £45-£65 for fitting, deffo don't do that yourself unless you have the knowledge.
