I'd have thought you should be able to get it done for an easy £300. Maybe less.0 -
Not with the pump as well.
Plastic pulleys and tensioners?Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -

Kits are £100-£120 including pump?
Even at £20 an hour is it a more than 9 hour job?0 -
it was a 6-hour job when I had mine done at my local garage last year. I was just under £400 for the whole thing, parts (including water pump) and labour.0

Depends if it has the Dephaser pulley or not... That'll be £100+ extra on top of ordinary Cambelt.0

My local garage charged me £400 for a full service including cambelt, waterpump and gearbox oil change a few months back on a 2006 megane dci. Renault were doing an offer at the time which would have done the cambelt only for £425. A reliable independent might be the best bet. I had a quote from an independent renault specialist in northwest for £200 for belt and pump kit, or £350 including a service, but that didn't come in until I'd already had it done.
I should point out though, the new tensioner went after a day and sent me back home on a towtruck. They did right by me though and repaired it fully, and gave me a loaner for the duration - I think they claimed on the Gates guarantee.0
