from what i can remember around £250 for parts and labour you can get it done cheaper than that though would depend on if your using dealers kit or not aswell as tps etc their kit will be cheaper than dealers

On autodata says 2.2hrs so i'd say 2 and half with pump, Mine took 4hrs could get bracket back in bloody nitemare. Fitting cambelt itself and pump easy just bracket, could get it out then back in. :cry: I know how do it now got get engine in correct position easy, do it again easy 2hrs.
