Without playing devils advocate, AutoData is a useful bit of kit but not a "Bible" I only use it for reference / guidance on manufacturers I am not familiar with.

I am not at my office pc this morning but iirc the labour sounds not far off all 3 belts.

Hi Lates thanks for the reply I have spoken to Brown and Gammon's workshop and they have said it's 6.53hrs to do the main belt and .90 and 1.20 to do the rears with the front stripped, so it looks like I will be changing them myself. If you have time could you advise me on how to do them without stripping the front end down?

8.63hours total is more than what we charge for a full 90k.
We have done the rears only before but we use part of the special tool kit to allign/lock the pulleys.
