its a shame you live so far away, i only charge £20 per hour and discount on the parts.
there is nothing frightening about the timing belt.
should take just over 2 hours.

i believe 80k is the recomended service interval for a timing belt on the s1 T4, better sooner than later with these sort of items

Its a shame you live so far away from me! I'd do it once a month for £40!
