Rover 200SDI Cambelt Info ? - Swebb

I'm looking for info on the cambelt change for a Rover 200 SDI. Various garages have told me I should get it changed anywhere between 48000 and 84000 miles. I've been quoted anywhere from £150 for the job upto £300!!!! I've also been told its a 6hr job !

Anybody actually know whats involved and when it should be done. Also is it something I should just leave a Rover dealership to do or something that a half decent Diesel Service centre should be able to handle (cheaper).

I also see that the service intervals are 12000miles. Should I change to the oil every 6000miles though ?

Cheers
