Just been quoted £750 for cambelt and water pump etc by M J Fews at Charfield. They used to be a LR dealership but still do LR service work.

Wow. That's twice the price it should cost.  2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Soon to be sold.
Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE.
Hyundai Ionic 5 Ultimate on order.

Thanks again, it's in on Wednesday for a health check. It's won't tell everything but Im hoping I will at least know what my priorities should be.

No more follow ups?
Hopefully all turned out OK

Just for the record here in case anyone else searches this. I bought a 2012 with 93k miles on the clock and couldn't find any record of a cambelt change. It had a good history (main dealer) so I rang them and they gave me the details of the services including that the aux belt had been changed in 2019.

For peace of mind I got my local to do a cambelt change (just under £400) expecting as a number of posts here have said that the belt would look like new. It didn't. Tiny cracks across the belt and showing signs of wear.

Just goes to show you.

£400 is ok, as long as it includes an OE water pump, and belt kit. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Soon to be sold.
Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE.

Yup , the lot. Gates kit.

Main dealer quoted £750.
