Have made it! Very impressed and a vast improvement well done HJ and the gang.

Update on the cam belt, BMW want £250 to do it and the cheapest so far for an independent is £100 labour plus parts so nearing £200 or so.

Where else should I try? had thought that £125 closer to the mark so did you HJ!

Tom,

The job books at no more than 2.5 hours so you can work out the expected labour cost depending where you go. I would guess a decent timing belt at no more than £25 then perhaps up to £50 for a tensioner.
