Been lookin everywhere in Newcastle area for my cam kit and aux kit change.
Prices ranging from £675 to the stupid.

Rang T W Barker and they quoted £400 labour only so thats approx £680 all in.
Rang R&P Woods, they quoted £675 all in.
So though i might need to go further a field to get a better price, after hunting about on various RS sites i found a place called Mickleton services in Durham, they are Reno specialists, apparently a family run garage for over 35 years. A lad called Hutchie from CS works there so PM'd him to find out a bit crack then rang the garage to get booked in.
It was a woman who answered the phone who seemed to know what she was talkin about so the Trophy is booked in for the 27th for both belt kits :D .
£500 all in, as i live approx 50 mins away they are giving me a car to get home in and back the next day free of charge.
This is the web address, not much to look at but seems good, http://www.mickleton.co.uk
Will update how the car feels in a couple of weeks, got to be one of the high mileage Trophys on here, just pushing 66500. Yes i know i should have had the belts done a few thousand miles ago but i dont drive like a nutter everywhere so hopefully it will be OK till then.

Woody,

have you contacted Rentech in Portsmouth? they provide a great service not only on the car but will also give ya a lift into the town so you can relax for the day and then pick you up after it is done.
Had both my 12K and 24K service done with them and will be sorting out my 36K in a couple of months. a lot of people travel to them from a distance.

How much did you end up paying?
Where did you get it done?
