Cambelt [is this a good price?]

ive been quoted £90 for the cambelt (timing belt, same thing) to be done on my Volvo 740 Estate. Thats with everything, him suppying the cambelt, and fitting it.

I dont have a clue if this is good or not, it sounds ok to me but i thought id ask you experts

Cheers

Most cars also benefit from the tensioner and pulleys being replaced too.

I take it the price wouldnt include this? Are tensioners and pulley's expensive?

Cheers

Don't forget the water pump!

im guessing this could get pricey

i'll make a list of all the parts. Anything else i should be aware of?

true. Looking at eurocarparts.com there is a number of timing belts available. along with water pumps, tensiors etc so im going to buy the parts and ask the garage to fit.

So which cambelt do i need. Eurocarparts.com shows this for the cambelts:

and this for water pumps:
