maybe i worded that completly wrong. its not in the garage at the moment.
but i will be booking it in shortly, just need to know a rough price guide.
Why i wrote it the way i did i dont know i was probably still asleep.

s'ok
most small garages near me do it for about 100 to 150 quid
main dealer would be about double that
its not a bad job to do one on your car, same as on my old 406 td and i did
that in about an hour and a half
allow for the fact that when its stripped the water pump may be showing
early signs of leakage
either way i cant see the job being beyond the capabilites of most of the
smaller garages

I had the belt done last year for about £120, the clutch was £250 inc
parts and labour at my local specialist about 2 months ago.

A few years ago Citroen wanted £450 for the clutch on a BX and
recently quoted me £350 for the cambelt.

Just to clarify, the work I had done recently was on a 1.9TD LX Xantia
and the Citroen cambelt quote was for the Xantia also.
