anything between 500 n 600 for it to be done properly is around the price you should be paying, but at that price id expect the belt and tensioner to be done, waterpump, new oil rail fitted, new bolts, mls gasket n make sure they are using anarobic sealant not silicone, done a lot of them in my place, n not had any come backs with the uprated gasket n ladder, might as well get a new thermostat while ur at it

Might be worth a call??? Looks like he will do it under £400 seems cheap but I guess if he does it every day prob got it down to an art??
