Cam Belt Kit 101.25
'P' Gasket 3.72
Antifreeze 4 liters 15

Parts include carrage and vat as shown

Parts total 140.33

Labour
Cam Belt change 8 hours
P gasket in conjunction with Cam Belt additional 1 hour
Tappets 1/2 hour

Ok, but does the whole job seem cheap? I mean, the guy may be a real perfectionist but is it really 9 1/2 hrs labour?

Ask them why the cam took so long, I'd say 8 hours is too long as well

phone landrover and ask for the book time for a belt swap.

The price is OK, so it's a 4 hour job at £54 per hour!
