£290 for a kit fitted but no water pump, will do with water pump/antifreeze "for extra"..
£350 for a cam belt kit + water pump + antifreeze.

Both local garages.
 
£350 is the way to go & get everything done together, doesn't make sense not to have the WP done while everything is off the engine. If you can, why not do it yourself some Saturday while the weather's good & save yourself 4 hrs garage labour?

The £290 one will do the water pump too, hence the "extra".

DIY? I thought these were awkward and difficult things to do!
 
Every front wheel drive vehicle is a pain in the rear end to work on but do-able, there's a few tutorials on Utube to replace 1.9 & 2.0 belts. If you're like me & getting underneath a car is a chore then have a helper on standby, one can work from the top & the other underneath.
