My recent experience on this - Cam cover gaskets, Dis pack, s/plug leads, spark plugs, and other gaskets required for stuff removed to get to everything and dont forget to thorroughly clean breather system - £750.00 at Vx parts and labour.

I did the job my self and saved about £300.00 off that cost and aftermarket parts may be cheaper but not recommended:y
