How much should I be looking to pay to get the timing belt replaced on my S1
. Ive been quoted £360 from the Longniddry Garage is this reasonable?
I would have asked Brunty but I take it he is no longer doing this kind of work?
Cheers

I paid brunty 420ish for a Full C service including timing belt and all parts and a track rod end, so if the 360 is to do nothing but change the belt then thats a bit steep.

Thought it sounded a bit steep - any ideas where I can get it done in the Edinburgh area for a more reasonable price???

Local garage charged me £180 to change the pulleys and the timing belt. I supplied my own belt, tensioner and locking tool which was around £60 from Elise parts.
They only had the car for a few hours...
