Not any old backstreet dealer can do it. If it seems to cheap to be true then it probably is and you will end with with a whole lot of issues.

I had a GTi 140 about 4 years ago and got my cambelt changed at an independant Peugeot specialist for about £130 all in. Peugeot main dealer quoted over £300 + VAT!!!

I'd be willing to spend a day out and travel for this price, can I ask who it was?
Thanks,
