Yes.....and I've been quoted £410 to do the job all in

Should I have the water pump changed as well???

To do both jobs will cost £460

The dealer said its not always necessary to have it done as the cambelt doesnt run the waterpump so they are going to see what its like when the front is off and maybe not do it

He said its an expensive job because it takes hours and the new VX belts dont come with timing marks and its a bit of a nightmare to get the timing right.

Does this sound right?

You've not said what car you've got, with that information the guy's on here can be more precise in what they tell you.

On my Omega 2.2CDI the water pump is driven by the belt and should be changed at the same time. I've just bought the bit's to do it my self and it came to £98

It takes an amateur like myself about 1.5hrs...  ...even without markings on belt.  If they are saying its a nightmare, walk away - sounds they have neither the confidence or experience.

You anywhere near Northants/Oxn/Bucks area?

Sounds like he has v6 - pump not cambelt driven, no markings on new belts...

My concern is that at least if a Vauxhall Dealer does it....and they f**k it up...or the belt snaps a few months later....I've got more comeback than if I get some local garage to do it or try and sort it myself

I had a belt snap on my other car...it cost me £500 to have repaired...and that was a diesel Ford Fiesta!!!

The thick end of £500 is a fair amount of money....but its only something that needs doing every 4 years or so with the amount of miles I do in the car

Does that include the vat :-?

Thought he was back there again.  Though he's harder to get hold of than a certain Admin in the first week of July
