Water pump
My car's cooling system has a leak which has now been diagnosed as failure of the water pump. I have been quoted a price of "approximately" £500 for supply and fitting of a replacement, including a new set of cam-belts which will be fitted at the same time (they are overdue for replacement anyway). Can anyone tell me whether this is a reasonable price, please?

Sounds like a good price to me. When my water pump failed they charged @£500 just for the pump. Wanted £800 to do belts as well!!

Thanks for the replies, and also to those who sent PMs. The consensus seems to be that the estimate I have been given is good, but I have sent a PM to Andy Willi anyway, as two people have suggested it.

my advise would be (do not agree to an estimate) got a firm price writted down on headed paper, there is a lot of people ready to rip you off and by giving an estimate that means at the end of the job the price can rocket, in my opinion £500 for doing the 3 belts and water pump (good quality ones) is to cheap
