    I have a Renault scenic 2000. I have left it in for a new clutch, timing belt and water pump.

    He has priced it at 750 this includes parts and labour parts approx 390 and the rest labour. I know nothing about cars does this sound a reasonable price.

    Thanks

    James

    Sounds fair enough to be honest, those are two fairly big jobs that are being done?

    To be honest thats good value the parts are quite cheap i must say but either way you could pay in and around 400e alone to have the clutch done so your getting a good deal.

    Like was mentioned not a bad price. So glad i don't have to pay mechanics anyway if that was me I would have flogged it and taken a chance with buying another one.

    €390 for the parts...

    That's good value to be honest....But the timing belt....Is that just the belt,,or is it a kit,with the tensioner/pulleys and water pump if it needs to be done?
