    and a 80,000 mile service. it is with a peugeot dealer, sounds good t
    me but i'm not sure.
    also can you give me an idea if brakes are included in this service

    I had the cam belt changed ( for my 306GLD) at 72 000 miles and this alone
    cost me £175 at a Peugeot dealer: heart breaking to spend that on something
    that does not improve the functionality, just peace of mind. I would think
    £380 is enough to pay max for what you had providing you had nothing
    drastically wrong.

    Depends where you live. I think I'm right that Peugeot dealers quote all
    these things on book time for the job, so the variable is the labour
    rate. For my 405 TD estate I was quoted a cam belt change at something
    like £120 in Cornwall and £300 in London and that was a couple of years
    ago. In the end an garage in Devon did it for £60 while I watched and
    learned.
