Sorry, I can't help with that particular car, but what I would suggest is using a trustworthy local indy rather than a main dealer or one of the big chains. Replacing the timing belt & water pump is one of those jobs where the parts aren't particularly pricey, it's the labour that costs. And the labour costs charged by a small independent mechanic are often a fraction of what the big boys will charge.If you don't already use/know a trusted local guy (or gal!) can you ask around neighbours or ask for recommendations on your local community Facebook page?Not sure if this helps to give a guide price, but over the years my local mechanic has charged roughly £250 - £350 for a Peugeot 306 diesel, Vauxhall Zarifa 1.6 petrol and Renault Clio 1.2 petrol.0
