You have been told wrong chap
The going rate for belts and pump using genuine parts is £450
Still not cheap but easier to swallow than £700
And was it rear bushes on a zs or zt?
Sounds very expensive if on a zs

The trailing arm bushes for the zs are about £8 to buy from xpart.

Where I live its £900

[stamford]

Thermostat is under £50 to buy the kit and an hours labour. As said belts are circa £450 these days.

[ZS]

The local garages round here are quoting £900 for the belt change as well (not including water pump and tensioner...)

Where can you get it for £450 or less then?
